Orioles' Luis Gonzalez: Removed from 40-man roster

The Orioles designated Gonzalez for assignment Monday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Scott Blewett, who was claimed off waivers. Gonzalez, 33, has yet to make an appearance at the major-league level and holds a 5.79 ERA and 4:4 K:BB over 4.2 frames this season with Triple-A Norfolk.
