Orioles' Cody Carroll: Healthy again
Rotowire
Carroll (back) said Wednesday that he's made a full recovery from the microdiscectomy surgery he required last summer, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Carroll was plagued by lower-back problems coming out of spring training in 2019 and missed most of the season after he had a piece of a disk shaved off to address his ongoing discomfort. The right-hander was able to make one rehab start for the Orioles' rookie-level Gulf Coast League affiliate before heading to the Arizona Fall League for eight more appearances, avoiding any further setbacks along the way. With his health now intact, Carroll will look to win a relief job with the big club this spring.

Orioles' Cody Carroll: To resume throwing Monday
Rotowire
Carroll (back) will resume throwing Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
Carroll has been out since the start of the season with lower-back soreness. He could eventually push for a role in the big-league bullpen, but his 9.00 ERA in 17 innings at the highest level last season doesn't give him a very good case for a major-league spot.

Rotowire
Carroll is experiencing soreness in his lower back and will begin the season on the injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
The severity of the injury remains unclear at this time, but Carroll is not expected to miss significant time. The 26-year-old, who was sent down to Triple-A two weeks ago, saw time in the majors last season, allowing seven homers over just 17 innings while finishing with an ERA of 9.00. Carroll is expected to provide bullpen depth for the Orioles this season.

Orioles' Cody Carroll: Recalled from Norfolk
Rotowire
Carroll was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
Carroll is set to make his major-league debut after joining the Orioles' organization last week. Across 43.2 innings at the Triple-A level this year, he's logged a 2.47 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with opposing batters hitting just .182 against him. Look for Carroll to be utilized in low-leverage spots while he's with the team.
Carroll, Josh Rogers and Dillon Tate were traded from the Yankees to the Orioles in exchange for Zach Britton on Tuesday.
Carroll had a quality 2.38 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 41.2 innings out of Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's bullpen this season, registering a 55:18 K:BB and .184 opponent batting average. The hard-throwing right-hander will start out with Triple-A Norfolk in his new organization, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him called up to the Orioles if he can illustrate better control of his secondary pitches.
