Orioles' Parmelee gets a rest after playing in doubleheader Sunday

Orioles first baseman/right fielder Chris Parmelee sat for just the second time in 13 games since his promotion from the minors on Monday against the Rangers.

Parmelee played in both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Indians. He homered in the second game.

He is batting .302 with one triple, four doubles, four home runs and six RBI in 12 games since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk. However, he has struck out 13 times, which has included two strikeouts in each of his last five games.
