Orioles put Rick van den Hurk on Release Waivers
Dutch right-handed pitcher Rick van den Hurk, who was designated for assignment on January 24 to make room for Wilson Betemit on the roster, is on the verge of getting released. The Baltimore Orioles put him on release waivers on Thursday most likely ending his stint with the O’s. The 29 teams can claim him before his actual release, but this seems unlikely at the moment. He is going to become a free agent and can look for a new employer. The 26-year-old made four appearances for Baltimore in September of last year.
