O’s temporarily option Chen, add Clevenger

The O’s optioned lefty Wei-Yin Chen to the Gulf Coast League Orioles on Wednesday, a day after his most recent start, and recalled catcher Steve Clevenger from Triple-A Norfolk. The GCL O’s season ends on Thursday, so Baltimore will be able to bring Chen back to the Majors in time for his next scheduled start, Sunday, without waiting the typically necessary 10 days.
