Orioles' Cody Carroll: Returned to alternate training site

He allowed six runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings. He'll head back to alternate camp, and the team could use caution before bringing him up again given his lack of results Friday.

Orioles' Cody Carroll: Healthy again
Rotowire
Carroll (back) said Wednesday that he's made a full recovery from the microdiscectomy surgery he required last summer, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Carroll was plagued by lower-back problems coming out of spring training in 2019 and missed most of the season after he had a piece of a disk shaved off to address his ongoing discomfort. The right-hander was able to make one rehab start for the Orioles' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate before heading to the Arizona Fall League for eight more appearances, avoiding any further setbacks along the way. With his health now intact, Carroll will look to win a relief job with the big club this spring.

Orioles' Cody Carroll: To resume throwing Monday
Rotowire
Carroll (back) will resume throwing Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Carroll has been out since the start of the season with lower-back soreness. He could eventually push for a role in the big-league bullpen, but his 9.00 ERA in 17 innings at the highest level last season doesn't give him a very good case for a major-league spot.

Orioles' Cody Carroll: Shifts to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Carroll was sent to minor-league camp Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Carroll compiled a solid 2.57 ERA and 9:1 K:BB through seven appearances (7.0 innings) this spring, but it wasn't enough to earn him a spot on Baltimore's Opening Day roster. The right-hander will provide bullpen depth for the Orioles throughout the season.

Orioles' Cody Carroll: Traded to Baltimore
Rotowire
Carroll, Josh Rogers and Dillon Tate were traded from the Yankees to the Orioles in exchange for Zach Britton on Tuesday.
Carroll had a quality 2.38 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 41.2 innings out of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's bullpen this season, registering a 55:18 K:BB and .184 opponent batting average. The hard-throwing right-hander will start out with Triple-A Norfolk in his new organization, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him called up to the Orioles if he can illustrate better control of his secondary pitches.
