The Baltimore Orioles made a roster change by designating utilityman Weston Wilson for assignment and selecting catcher Sam Huff's contract from Triple-A Norfolk on June 6. This move comes after Samuel Basallo exited Friday's game with abdominal discomfort, although his injury is not severe enough to require an injured list stint. Huff has appeared in three games for the Orioles this season, with two hits in nine at-bats. Wilson, a versatile player, hit.231 with one home run in 19 games before this move and may become a free agent if he clears waivers.
