Bergesen likely headed to minors

Orioles manager Dave Trembley and pitching coach Rick Kranitz were meeting with struggling starter Brad Bergesen behind closed doors in the manager's office as I left the clubhouse.

I'm told by multiple sources that Bergesen has been informed that he won't make his next start up here and he's headed to the minors.

Hopefully, I'll have more tomorrow, but it's hard to get people on the horn at 1:45 East Coast time. I'm guessing either long reliever Jason Berken or Triple-A Norfolk's Jake Arrieta takes his spot in the rotation. But we shall see.

About the bloggers

A Baltimore native, Dan Connolly has been covering sports for 14 years, and baseball and the Orioles for 10 seasons, including the past six with The Sun. His first year covering baseball on a daily basis was Cal Ripken Jr.'s final season as a player. It's believed that is just a coincidence.

Steve Gould is an assistant sports editor for The Sun, overseeing Orioles coverage. The Columbia native joined The Sun as a sports copy editor in 2006 after graduating from the University of Maryland.

Peter Schmuck has been covering baseball for a lot longer than Steve Gould has been on this earth. He is now a general sports columnist, but has been a beat writer covering three major league teams (the Dodgers, Angels and Orioles) and also spent a decade as the Sun's national baseball writer.
