Analysis:

The Orioles will give Steve Clevenger, who was recalled from Triple-A on Tuesday, a shot as the backup to Caleb Joseph for the time being. Matt Wieters could return in early June, however, so Clevenger's reps are likely to be limited. Lavarnway figures to land at Triple-A Norfolk after batting just .107 in 28 at-bats for Baltimore this seaosn (10 games).
