Barreda cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
As a 32-year-old with just three career MLB appearances under his belt, all of which came this year, it's unsurprising that Barreda passed through waivers unclaimed. He'll remain in an organizational depth role at Norfolk for the Orioles.

The right-hander has made 23 appearances (two starts) with Norfolk this year and has posted a 4.19 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 34.1 innings.

Orioles' Manny Barreda: Earns win in major-league debut
Rotowire
Barreda (1-0) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Wednesday over Kansas City.
The 32-year-old pitched the top of the eighth inning with Baltimore trailing 5-0, and he was able to maintain the five-run deficit. The offense rallied for nine runs in its half of the inning, and that made Barreda a winner in his major-league debut. The right-hander projects for a low-leverage role as long as he's with the big club.
