The Baltimore Orioles have placed reliever Darren OâDay and outfielder Craig Gentry on the 10-day disabled list.
OâDay hurt his left hamstring while fielding a bunt on Tuesday night and Gentry sustained a left rib fracture when hit by a pitch in Atlanta on Friday.
Itâs the second trip to the DL this season for OâDay Authentic Martin Kaut Jersey , who missed a month with a hyperextended elbow.
This injury could also result in a lengthy absence. Manager Buck Showalter said, âNot sure we can put a timeframe on it. Itâs pretty sore.â
The sidearmer is 0-2 with a 3.60 ERA.
Gentry is batting .244 with a team-high 10 steals.
Baltimore recalled utility man Steve Wilkerson and right-hander Jimmy Yacabonis from Triple-A Norfolk. Wilkerson made his major league debut last week, and Yacabonis is expected to start Thursday against Seattle in place of Dylan Bundy, who went on the disabled list Tuesday.

The Nashville Predators already sit atop the NHL standings, and now theyâve added another offensive boost before the playoffs.
General manager David Poile announced Thursday that the team had signed forward Eeli Tolvanen of Finland, the 30th pick overall last year Mason Cole Color Rush Jersey , to an entry-level contract. Poile credited Tolvanenâs agent, Jay Grossman, with being in Nashville to finalize the last details in time for Tolvanen to be on the ice with the Predators at their morning skate .
âThis is a great move obviously for today and our future,â Poile said after reeling off some of Tolvanenâs accomplishments in the past few months. âHe comes in at a great spot right now with six games left in the regular season. It gives us an opportunity to give him a look and gives us that depth that weâre going to need in the playoffs. So this is the end of my paper, but Iâd like to add a couple more lines here before the yearâs over.â
Terms of the contract were not announced.
Tolvanen spent two years in the United States Hockey League with the Sioux City Musketeers before opting to go to home to play for Jokerit in Kontinental Hockey League. With 36 points, he set the KHL scoring record for an 18-year-old before Jokerit was eliminated in the second round of the playoffs.
He also played for Finland in the 2018 Winter Olympics Tyquan Lewis Color Rush Jersey , where he tied for the second-most points by an under-19 player, with nine points in five games.
Poile said that production is proof that Tolvanen shouldâve gone a lot earlier than 30th in the draft, where Nashville was surprised to find the 5-foot-10 forward still available.
âWe were looking for an offensive player, one that can score some goals, and it certainly appears on the surface that we found that out,â Poile said.
Tolvanen didnât arrive in Nashville from Helsinki http://www.49ersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tarv...ore-jer sey , Finland, until early Thursday. Coach Peter Laviolette wants Tolvanen to watch Thursday nightâs game against the San Jose Sharks and to start picking up Nashvilleâs system. Having watched the forward the past few months, especially his games at the Olympics, Laviolette said he sees a smart player with great offensive instincts.
âWe hope that that translates here,â Laviolette said. âWe think it will.â
Tolvanenâs NHL debut is likely to occur Saturday night when the Predators face the Buffalo Sabres to wrap up a three-game home stand. Tolvanen said he has played on a lot of new teams recently, which should ease his transition. He also credited playing with former NHL players at the Olympics with helping him as well.
Joining a team that had an NHL-best 109 points going into Thursday night also doesnât hurt.
âI know theyâre a really good team Michael Dickson Color Rush Jersey , so itâs easy to jump in,â Tolvanen said. âThereâs a lot of good players, and theyâre going to push me forward. I think thatâs a good thing for me.â
Jokerit coach Jukka Jalonen told The Associated Press that the team is looking forward to what happens with Tolvanen in the NHL. Jalonen said he expects Tolvanen to need time to get used to better opponents and bigger defensemen.
âAfter two, three weeks, a few games, I think he will make an impression there http://www.seahawksauthorizedshops.com/authentic-s...ski-jer sey ,â Jalonen said.
Matching expectations that have grown with every video highlight shared on social media might be a challenge even for Tolvanen. The teen debuted in the KHL with a hat trick on Aug. 23 for Jokerit.
Poile thanked Jokerit general manager and Hockey Hall of Famer Jari Kurri for his help in getting Tolvanen to Nashville. Kurri told the AP that the timing is perfect for Tolvanen to join the NHL with so many young players, especially fellow Finns like Patrik Laine of Winnipeg and Sebastian Aho of Carolina, doing well in the league right now.
âThat will really help him,â Kurri told the AP by phone.
