Oscar Salazar Recalled By Orioles

Oscar Salazar

All Star Group client Oscar Salazar's contract was purchased today by the Baltimore Orioles. The moves comes after a scorching start for the thirty year old, who was leading the Triple-A International League in hitting (.372) at the time of his promotion. Oscar had also hit ten homeruns, driven in forty-three RBI and had a .618 slugging percentage with the Norfolk Tides.

This will be Salazar's second tour of duty with the Orioles major league club. Last season Oscar played in thirty-four games with the O's, when he hit .284/.372/.512.

Oscar is expected to serve as the team's primary right-handed bat off the bench, as well as a utility role.
