Orioles' Vance Worley: Should be activated Thursday

Worley (groin) should be activated in time for Thursday's game, MASN Sports reports.

Analysis:

With the Orioles beginning a road trip with a four-game series against the Mariners, the timing was right to activate Worley. After allowing five hits in 1.2 innings in his first rehab start, Worley tossed three perfect innings Tuesday. He should return to a long relief role, though starting is not out of the question if there is a need in the rotation.
