Brad Bergesen Will Pitch Tuesday

AUTHOR: | IN: Orioles General | COMMENTS: 2 Comments |

The Orioles are planning to recall Brad Bergesen to start Tuesday’s series opener against the Chicago White Sox at Camden Yards.

The club, which also considered recalling Triple-A left-hander Chris Waters, will likely hold off on making the announcement until Monday, when it will also have to make a roster move to accommodate Bergesen. However, multiple team sources confirmed that the plan is to give Bergesen an extended look in the rotation in place of injured right-hander Alfredo Simon, who is out at least a month, if not much longer, with elbow problems.

It will be the major league debut for Bergesen, a 23-year-old right-hander who was the organization’s Minor League Pitcher of the Year last season.

I am happy that Bergesen has finally been called up to the Majors. Now, we can finally see if he will be a solid starter, or a bust. Tuesdays game has now just brought new meaning to it.
