Orioles' Branden Kline: Optioned following Game 1

Kline was optioned to Baltimore's alternate training site following Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Rays.

Kline was called up for the first game of the day, but he'll head right back down after failing to make an appearance. He's pitched in one game this season, tossing 1.2 scoreless frames while allowing one hit and fanning three.
