Orioles' Cade Povich: Recalled ahead of start

The Orioles recalled Povich from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday ahead of his start against the Red Sox.

Povich has a 3.86 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 11 strikeouts in 14 innings over two starts for Norfolk since last getting optioned July 29. While the 24-year-old lefty has been largely successful this season in the highest level of the minors (3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, 89 strikeouts in 77.2 innings), he has been overmatched against big-league hitters, logging a 14.3 percent strikeout rate and 13.1 percent walk rate in 37.1 innings. With Albert Suarez expected to start Sunday, Povich may be optioned back to Triple-A after this start.
