The Baltimore Orioles recalled right-hander Brandon Young from Triple-A Norfolk to start Monday’s series opener against the host Chicago White Sox.
To make room on the roster, the Orioles sent southpaw reliever Dietrich Enns (foot infection) to the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Saturday.
The spot for a starter opened up when Zach Eflin (right elbow discomfort) went on the 15-day IL last week. He left his start versus the Texas Rangers on March 31 in the fourth inning and is currently seeking a second opinion.
Young, the Orioles’ 2024 Minor League Pitcher of the Year, made 12 starts for the major league club in 2025 and finished 1-7 with a 6.24 ERA. The highlight of his season occurred on July 8 when he recorded an immaculate inning against the New York Mets, fanning three batters on nine pitches in the top of the fifth.
Young made one start for Norfolk, completing five innings at Memphis on April 1. He allowed one earned run on five hits, with no walks and four strikeouts.
He did not face the White Sox last season.
