Orioles' Dylan Carlson: Sent down to minors

The Orioles optioned Carlson to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

Carlson started four of Baltimore's past seven games but went 2-for-17 at the plate during that span. He's posted a .667 OPS across 115 major-league plate appearances this season and will now get a chance to work on his stroke in the minors. In a corresponding move, infielder Emmanuel Rivera had his contract selected from Norfolk.
