Orioles Activate Félix Bautista After 14-Month Absence; Trey Mancini Retires
Baltimore brings back reliever following shoulder surgery as former outfielder Trey Mancini signs a one-day contract to close out his career with the club.
The Baltimore Orioles announced they have activated relief pitcher Félix Bautista from the injured list, ending a 14-month absence for the right-hander, according to ESPN.
Bautista, who had not pitched for the Orioles since undergoing shoulder surgery, was reinstated to the team's active roster, ESPN reported.
In a separate move, the Orioles announced that former outfielder Trey Mancini signed a one-day contract with the club, a common practice that allows a player to formally retire as a member of the organization he is most associated with. ESPN reported that Mancini has retired from professional baseball.
The Orioles did not immediately provide additional details on Bautista's role going forward or the specific timeline of his recovery, according to the report.
