Simon Activated, Bergesen to Norfolk
 Orioles P Alfredo Simon

Baltimore Orioles manager Juan Samuel announced following the team's loss to the New York Mets on Sunday that P Alfredo Simon would be activated from the disabled list and that P Brad Bergesen would be sent back to AAA Norfolk.
Samuel stated that he believes the Orioles would be doing Bergesen a "disservice" of sorts if he were to stay on the big league level, but in the bullpen. The organization still has faith that the young right-hander will be part of the team's rotation in the future.
Simon is going to be given at least one appearance before he is put in a closing situation again.
Notes: P Kevin Millwood is going through a rough period, with his ERA skyrocketing in recent starts. However, when asked about whether Millwood's 0-8 record has taken a toll on the pitcher mentally, Juan Samuel described him as a "solid veteran guy".
