The Orioles optioned Raquet to Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
Raquet made two appearances for Baltimore after being acquired via trade from the Cardinals last week, yielding three runs with a 0:1 K:BB across 1.2 innings. His spot on the 26-man active roster is being filled by Sam Huff, who was called up from Triple-A to serve as the Orioles' third catcher.

The Orioles recalled Raquet from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Raquet was acquired via trade from the Cardinals on Monday and will go directly onto the Orioles' roster. The left-hander made two scoreless appearances for St. Louis last season and had allowed one run with a 3:0 K:BB over his first three innings with Triple-A Memphis this season. Raquet will give manager Craig Albernaz another lefty option in the bullpen.

The Cardinals designated Raquet for assignment Sunday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
The left-hander was unable to earn a place on St. Louis' Opening Day roster, and he's now been jettisoned from the 40-man roster after making two relief appearances with Triple-A Memphis. Raquet should remain with the affiliate if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Rotowire
The Cardinals optioned Raquet to Triple-A Memphis on Monday.
Raquet made three appearances during Grapefruit League play, yielding one run with a 5:1 K:BB across three innings. The Cardinals don't have a ton of left-handed relief depth, so the lefty-throwing Raquet is a good bet to see some action at the big-league level this season.
