The Orioles have designated infielder Zelous Wheeler for assignment, according to Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun (via Twitter). The O's placed right-hander Matt Lindstrom on the disabled list to make room on the 25-man roster for pitcher Dana Eveland and DFA'd Wheeler to make space on the 40-man.
Wheeler, 25, split time between Double-A and Triple-A this season and hit just .202/.288/.283 in 27 games. For his minor league career, Wheeler owns a .268/.367/.402 slash line with most of his time coming at the Double-A level.
I guess the Orioles were a bit overZelous.

Rock Me Dr. Zelous!
I thought it said “Zach Wheeler designated for assignment”. I was a little confused for a moment.
You read that right, they had to make room for Matt Hobgood.
Giant game is on: All eyes on, um…..
