Orioles' Dean Kremer: Sent back to Triple-A

Kremer was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

The 25-year-old surrendered six runs while recording only one out in Thursday's start versus Toronto, prompting his return to the minors. Kremer has made 12 starts for the Orioles this season and has struggled with a 7.25 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 45:24 K:BB across 49.2 innings. He may need to show significant improvement at Triple-A in order to receive another look in the big-league rotation.
