Orioles reliever Nate Karns is reporting to Double-A Bowie on Thursday while his teammates fly to Minnesota for the start of a three-game series.
Karns threw again today without discomfort in his right forearm. He’s going to throw an inning with the Baysox Thursday and another inning a few days later.
“He’s going to have a couple outings and then we’ll kind of reassess,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “We always reassess after every outing, but we plan on him having a couple outings and then hopefully be back up here soon.”
Karns returned to Baltimore after one appearance at Triple-A Norfolk, when he served up a three-run homer and retired only two Charlotte batters. Some lingering tightness in the forearm caused the Orioles to slow him down and resume the assignment at Bowie.
Going to Bowie keeps Karns close to Baltimore, where his wife Jenny is expecting the couple’s first child in a few weeks.
