Link: O's Send down Hernandez, Promote Top Pitching Prospects

In order to clear room on their roster for Koji Uehara (who is returning from the DL), the Baltimore Orioles have sent rookie pitcher David Hernandez back down to Triple-A Norfolk, reports Dan Connelly of the Baltimore Sun.

Also in the article, Connelly reports that pitcher Jake Arrieta has been promoted to Triple-A while pitcher Brian Matusz has been promoted to Double-A Bowie.

Link: O's Look to Farm System to Replace Eaton

Now that the Baltimore Orioles have released Adam Eaton, they will need to replace his spot in the rotation, and as Dan Connelly of the Baltimore Sun reports, that replacement will likely be from within their own farm system.

Many are familiar with the pitching depth within the Orioles farm system, but it is unlikely that any of their big three will be called up to replace Eaton, as Jake Arrieta and Brian Matusz are in Double-A and the O's would prefer not to rush Chris Tillman. There are a number of possible candidates, but the only real option among prospects is David Hernandez.
