Orioles reinstate Helsley from 15-day injured list

By The Associated Press

SEATTLE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles reinstated closer Ryan Helsley from the 15-day injured list prior to Tuesday night’s opener against the Mariners.

Helsley, 31, had been on the IL since April 29 with right elbow inflammation.

Right-hander Anthony Nunez was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room for Helsley.

“Overall, I feel really good,” Helsley said. “I’m just excited to be back up on the team.”

Helsley, who signed a two-year, $28 million free agent deal with Baltimore in December, pitched to a 2.53 ERA and was 7-for-7 in save opportunities before hitting the IL.

“Getting Helsley back right now, it trickles everyone down,” Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said. “Even though the bullpen did an outstanding job navigating these two months, it feels good having Helsley back.”
