Rotowire

Gilmartin will rejoin the big-league club after being designated for assignment by the Rays just under two weeks ago.

Rays' Sean Gilmartin: Back to workouts in Port Charlotte
Rotowire
Gilmartin has officially rejoined workouts at the team's alternate training site in Port Charlotte, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Gilmartin made one appearance for the Rays before being outrighted, allowing three earned runs on five hits and a walk over 3.1 innings while recording four strikeouts against the Yankees on Aug. 8. As he demonstrated in that outing, the southpaw is capable of covering multiple innings if called upon, so he could certainly find his way back to the big-league club at some point this season, particularly if the current rash of injuries on the team's pitching staff persists.

Rays' Sean Gilmartin: Gets camp invite with Rays
Rotowire
Gilmartin signed a minor-league deal with the Rays on Saturday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
The deal includes an invitation to major-league spring training. The 29-year-old southpaw spent the last two years with the Orioles, but pitched more at Triple-A than in the majors. The Rays have as much bullpen depth as any team in the league, so Gilmartin will likely spend the bulk of the year back at Triple-A.

Orioles' Sean Gilmartin: Back to Triple-A after rough start
Rotowire
The Orioles optioned Gilmartin to Triple-A Norfolk after Friday's 10-9 loss to the Mariners, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Gilmartin entered the rotation as a replacement for John Means (shoulder) and was unable to get the job done, lasting just 2.1 innings while yielding five runs on seven hits and two walks. The Orioles can get by without requiring a fifth starter again until July 2, so if Means isn't healthy by that point, minor-league arms Luis Ortiz and Chandler Shepherd could be next in line for trials in the Baltimore rotation.
