Anyone that we can move to the 60 day IL (who isn't there already)?

Don't think there are any. Chris Davis and Richie Martin are on the 60 day list currently. And John Means would have to sit out until beginning of August if he went to the 60 day. Cesar Valdez is on the 10 day IL, but unless his back injury is really bad the 60 day IL seems unlikely.

Unless Lakins is so far gone....but seems early for that to be the case.  I guess it's more likely that someone is DFA'd.  Maybe Konner Wade?  He seems the most vulnerable.

Lakins did have an MRI today, but it seems too soon for the 60 day IL and I hope it's not that serious. 

Orioles' Travis Lakins: Managing elbow discomfort

Quote

Lakinswas removed from Tuesday's game against the Astros with right elbow discomfort, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

The right-hander covered 1.2 innings and surrendered a run on three walks and a hit prior to his exit. According to Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com, Lakins will undergo an MRI on Wednesday to determine the severity of the injury.

From one week ago when Watkins made a start for Norfolk.

Good.  I have been wanting to see Watkins.

My guess is Lakins to the 10 day IL and Wade DFA'd.

This team has already used 26 “real” pitchers, plus Wilkerson and Valaika, and we are just getting to the halfway point in the season tonight.   

I can’t resist mentioning that the 1972 O’s used 11 pitchers the entire year. Ditto for 1974.

Hate to see Wells go back to Norfolk, but at least Mattson is another "prospect." Hopefully, this is the end of the Stevie W. experiment.

[Legend_Of_Joey]

Hopefully Wells isn’t the new guy on the shuttle train and this is more of a “we used you, now we need the extra arm.”

Stevie probably clears and goes back to Norfolk.

If we're DFA Wilkerson, optioning Wells and moving Lakins to the DL, that's three open roster spots, right?

We only called up Mattson and Watkins.

Is there a third player coming?

Stevie was sent down to Norfolk over the weekend when we brought up Leyva.   He was not on the 26 man MLB roster.  He was on the 40, and we DFA'd him to get Watkins on the 40.

So 26 man roster:
   +  Mattson, Watkins
   -   Wells, Lakins

40 man roster
   + Watkins
   -  Wilkerson
