Orioles' Joey Krehbiel: Moves off 40-man roster

Baltimore designated Krehbiel for assignment Wednesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

The move clears room on the 40-man roster for Luis Torrens, whom the Orioles acquired from the Cubs in exchange for cash considerations. Krehbiel was relatively effective out of the Baltimore bullpen in 2022 with a 3.90 ERA over 57.2 innings over 56 appearances, but he wasn't a part of the Opening Day roster. He's posted a 2.00 ERA over nine innings with Triple-A Norfolk, and a team in need of bullpen help could show interest in the right-hander on the waiver wire or via trade.
