Orioles' Mickey Jannis: Moves back to Triple-A
Jannis was promoted from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
Jannis was demoted to Bowie in mid-August, and things haven't improved much for him since, as he's allowed 26 earned runs on 42 hits across 29 Double-A innings. Despite those struggles, he'll return to Norfolk and could remain there for the remainder of the season.

Orioles' Mickey Jannis: Demoted to Double-A
Jannis was demoted from Triple-A Norfolk to Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Jannis spent the last month and a half with Norfolk after clearing waivers in late June. Things haven't gotten better for the knuckleballer, as he posted a 7.25 ERA and 1.75 WHIP in 22.1 Triple-A innings. He'll now head to Bowie, where he'll look to right the ship.

Orioles' Mickey Jannis: Clears waivers, sent to Triple-A
Jannis cleared waivers Sunday and was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.
Jannis was recalled to the big leagues Tuesday but was DFA'd on Friday after allowing seven runs across 3.1 innings during his Wednesday major-league debut. He'll remain with the organization, though he'll need to be re-added to the 40-man roster should the Orioles decide to give him another look in the majors.

Orioles' Mickey Jannis: Unimpressive in major-league debut
Jannis allowed seven runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out one over 3.1 innings in a 13-0 loss to Houston on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old knuckleballer was hit hard by Houston, allowing three home runs in his major-league debut. Jannis was called upon for a multi-inning assignment after starter Thomas Eshelman also labored through four innings. Jannis is unlikely to see much, if any, high-leverage work while in the majors.

Orioles' Mickey Jannis: Contract selected by Orioles
Jannis' contract was selected by the Orioles on Tuesday.
The 33-year-old knuckleballer will finally get the chance to make his big-league debut after toiling for over a decade in the minors. He recorded a 2.92 ERA in 24.2 innings for Triple-A Norfolk this season, though both his 13.0 percent strikeout rate and 10.0 percent walk rate were unimpressive. Jannis will likely fill a low-leverage relief role for now. Mac Sceroler was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
