Davidson elected free agency back in October after being jettisoned from Baltimore’s 40-man roster and will take his talents overseas to rebuild his long-term value. The 28-year-old lefty made one relief appearance last year for the Orioles and posted a solid 3.89 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 104/46 K/BB ratio across 115 2/3 innings (32 appearances, 17 starts) for Triple-A Norfolk.

Davidson was designated for assignment and sent to Triple-A Norfolk, but he rejected the assignment and elected free agency instead. The 28-year-old split time between the rotation and bullpen this season but spent almost the entire year i Triple-A, posting a 3.89 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and 104:46 K:BB ratio in 115 2/3 innings (17 starts) for Baltimore. He will look to get a shot at a big league job with another organization.

Yes that Tucker Davidson. The left-hander was recalled Saturday to be the bulk guy in a game that had no real meaning for the Orioles, but he pitched well. The former Atlanta prospect was a little fortunate to not give up a run while issuing just one strikeout against two walks with four hits, but credit to him for wiggling out of jams. Davidson is extremely unlikely to be part of the Baltimore pitching staff for the playoffs.

Davidson will likely eat some innings for Baltimore on Saturday either as a starter or a reliever. Bryan Baker was optioned to the minors to make room on the active roster. The Orioles previously had a spot open on the 40-man roster.
