Orioles' Spenser Watkins: Dropped from 40-man roster

Watkins was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

Watkins made his big-league debut at age-28 this season but failed to impress. In 10 starts and six relief appearances, he struggled to a 8.07 ERA, with his 13.7 percent strikeout rate and 33.5 percent groundball rate standing out as the primary culprits.
