The Orioles called up top pitching prospect Dylan Bundy to the majors, Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reported.
"The Orioles' game against the Mariners ended shortly before 4 a.m. ET. Bundy learned of his promotion in Florida via a phone call shortly after that, a source said."
Bundy, 19, was drafted fourth overall in 2011 out of Owasso High School. Originally, the team did not plan to promote Bundy this year and said they would send him to instructional league after his Double-A season ended. Although manager Buck Showalter did not rule out the possibility of calling Bundy up in September, it seemed like a long shot at the time:
"[Procedurally], there's some other things that happen if you do that," Showalter said. "Frankly, what you got to ask yourself is, does he have a chance to be on your club to start the season next year? And that kind of effects the way you look at it.
"Right now, I want him to pitch his butt off and help Bowie win an Eastern League Championship. That's where I want his mindset. And then when that's over, look forward to working on some weaknesses down in instructional league with some very good instructors."
But the team's playoff outlook and overworked bullpen appear to have changed those plans. Currently, the O's are tied for first with the Yankees in the NL East. Bundy will likely fill a limited relief role and join the team on Wednesday night against the Mariners.
