Bridwell will likely begin the season at Double-A, but he could move to Triple-A during the season, MASN Sports reports.
This could indicate an arrival in Baltimore before the end of the season. Bridwell had elbow issues last season, but he returned to the bullpen for the Arizona Fall League. The Orioles still have him pegged as a starter. Bridwell cut his BB/9 from 4.5 at High-A in 2014 to 3.5 at Double-A in 2015. He has allowed a solo home run in three innings with no walks or strikeouts this spring.
