Orioles' Payton Eeles: Returns from shoulder injury
Rotowire
Eeles (shoulder) has gone 1-for-8 with one RBI and one run scored across three games at Triple-A Norfolk since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Wednesday.
Eeles missed the first few weeks of the season due to a shoulder injury, which he sustained during spring training. After completing a brief rehab assignment with High-A Frederick, he's back in action for Norfolk, where he should benefit from an everyday role.
