The outing will act as a cup of coffee for Hall for the time being, as the Orioles will send him back to Triple-A today and transition him to relief pitching.  MASNSports.com&#8217;s Roch Kubatko writes that the O&#8217;s view Hall as an intriguing bullpen option for this season, as a live arm with the potential to work multiple innings in a game.<\/p>\n<p>The move also allows for the Orioles to limit Hall&#8217;s innings.  With 81 1\/3 total frames pitched in the majors and minors this season, Hall is already within sight of his career high of 94 1\/3 innings pitched (in 2018 in A-ball).  Given Hall&#8217;s injury history and the fact that he tossed only 31 2\/3 IP last year, Baltimore is trying to both manage Hall&#8217;s health and capitalize on his short-term potential to help the Orioles &#8216;surprising postseason bid.<\/p>\n<p>More from around the AL East\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is optimism that <strong>George Springer<\/strong> will be able to exit the 10-day injured list when first eligible on August 15.  <strong>Blue Jays<\/strong> interim manager <strong>John Schneider<\/strong> told reporters (including <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/kaitlyncmcgrath\/status\/1558489103125053442\" target=\"_blank\">The Athletic&#8217;s Kaitlyn McGrath<\/a>) that Springer won&#8217;t need a rehab assignment, and the outfielder is already hitting on the field and playing catch.  Springer has been bothered by a sore right elbow for most of the season, with the problem finally forcing him to the IL after he had to sit out five games in a seven-game stretch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wander Franco<\/strong> and <strong>Harold Ramirez<\/strong> are both scheduled to start minor league rehab assignments this week, <strong>ray<\/strong> manager <strong>Kevin Cash<\/strong> told reporters (including <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TBTimes_Rays\/status\/1558633470792011776\" target=\"_blank\">Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times<\/a>).  Ramirez is closer to a return, as the outfielder will start his assignment with Triple-A Durham today.  Ramirez fractured his right thumb after being hit by a pitch on July 17, interrupting an outstanding first season in Tampa that saw the 27-year-old hit .329\/.379\/.446 over 264 plate appearances.  Franco underwent hamate bone surgery in mid-July, so his planned work with the Rays &#8216;Florida Coast League affiliate this week fits into the initial 5-8 week timeline given for his recovery.  Between the broken hamate bone and an earlier quad strain, Franco has been limited to 58 games in his sophomore season in the majors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Giancarlo Stanton<\/strong> has been increasing his on-field activities, and <strong>Yankees<\/strong> manager <strong>Aaron Boone<\/strong> told <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarlyRiveraESPN\/status\/1558560543027470337\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN&#8217;s Marly Rivera<\/a> and other reporters that Stanton will hopefully be able to have \u201c<em>a full pregame workout<\/em>\u201d within the next day or two.  Once that step is established, the team can explore a rehab timeline for Stanton, who has been on the 10-day IL since July 24 due to left Achilles tendinitis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>    .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>orioles pitching prospect DL Hall made his Major League debut yesterday, allowing five runs over 3 2\/3 innings in an 8-2 loss to the Rays.
