CHICAGO—The Orioles recalled right-hander Brandon Young from Triple-A Norfolk to start Monday night’s game against the White Sox.
Left-hander Dietrich Enns has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a left foot infection. That move is retroactive to Saturday.
Young, who was 1-7 with a 6.24 ERA in 12 starts last season, takes the place of Zach Eflin in the rotation.
He was optioned to minor league camp on March 7th after a 2.25 ERA in two games this spring. Young allowed one run on five hits in five innings for Triple-A Norfolk in his only start for the Tides.
Last season, Young pitched 7 2/3 perfect innings at Houston on August 16th for his only win. In his next start, he suffered a season-ending hamstring injury.
Enns has a 4.15 ERA in three games.
The move leaves the Orioles with just one available left-hander, Grant Wolfram, in the bullpen for Monday night’s game. Cade Povich pitched 5 2/3 innings in relief of Chris Bassitt on Sunday.
Keegan Akin, the Orioles’ most experienced left-hander, is on the 15-day injured list with a strained left groin muscle.
