Orioles' Chris Vallimont: Selected from Triple-A

The Orioles selected Vallimont's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Vallimont hasn't been spectacular in Norfolk this season, recording a 5.02 ERA and 1.40 WHIP with a 64:30 K:BB through 57.1 innings. He's primarily been used as a starter in the minors, though he'll likely come out of the bullpen while in Baltimore. Vallimont will take the place of Bruce Zimmermann, who was optioned to Norfolk in a corresponding move.
