Orioles starter Jason Hammel said he's ready to return to the majors if Baltimore needs him, MLB.com reports Tuesday. Hammel made a strong second rehab start with Class A Aberdeen Tuesday night.
"I'd say I'm ready," Hammel said. "I don't know exactly what the plan is for the next couple days, but I've done my work, and they've taken good care of me. I feel healthy, so I'm ready to go when they want me."
Hammel would like to return as a starter for the Orioles but realizes he may get some work out of the bullpen immediately upon his return.
