Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Kicking off rehab assignment
Rotowire
Hiraldo (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday at High-A Frederick, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Hiraldo had been in line to make his first rehab appearance Sunday, but a rainout pushed him back a couple days in the schedule. The 30-year-old reliever has been on the injured list since April 5 due to right shoulder inflammation and could need several appearances in the minors to knock off rust and hone his command, so it wouldn't be surprising if the Orioles waited until after the All-Star break to activate him.

Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Set for live BP
Rotowire
Hiraldo (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Hiraldo has slowly been working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, which has sidelined him since early April. The right-hander resumed throwing off a mound in early June, and Friday's session will be a significant step forward if he's able to complete the session unscathed. Hiraldo will likely require multiple outings during a minor-league rehab assignment in order to get back up to speed, but he could return to the major-league roster before the end of the month.

Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Resumes throwing
Rotowire
The Orioles announced Monday that Hiraldo (shoulder) has resumed a throwing program, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Placed on the injured list April 5 due to right shoulder inflammation, Hiraldo met with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles on April 20 to receive a second opinion on his injury. Hiraldo apparently received a favorable prognosis, given that the Orioles have signed off on him starting up a throwing program just a few weeks later. Baltimore transferred Hiraldo to the 60-day IL shortly shortly after initially deactivating him, so the right-hander will likely be built up slowly during his throwing program. He'll be eligible to return from the shelf in early June.

Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Set for second opinion
Rotowire
Hiraldo is scheduled to meet with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday to receive a second opinion on his inflamed right shoulder, Andy Kostka of TheBanner.com reports.
Though the Orioles are still labeling Hiraldo's shoulder injury as inflammation, the team's decision to move him from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL last week would seem to suggest that he could be dealing with something more significant. After he receives a second opinion from Dr. ElAttrache, Hiraldo will decide on a treatment plan for his injury. The righty reliever made just three appearances for Baltimore before landing on the shelf.

Orioles' Yaramil Hiraldo: Back with big club
Rotowire
The Orioles recalled Hiraldo from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
Just one day ago, Hiraldo was optioned to Norfolk, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Orioles early since the team placed reliever Colin Selby (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday in a corresponding move. Hiraldo will likely be ticketed for a low-leverage role in the bullpen, though he could move up the depth chart if the Orioles part with any of their veteran relievers ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.
