Thomas Eshelman: Elects free agency

Eshelman elected free agency Monday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Eshelman was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, but he'll choose to become a free agent ahead of the 2022 campaign. The right-hander made 31 appearances (14 starts) across four seasons with the Orioles and posted a 5.77 ERA and 1.47 WHIP in 98.1 innings.
