The Baltimore Orioles have selected the contract of infielder Luis Vázquez to replace Jorge Mateo, who has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation. Vázquez, acquired from the Cubs in January, has shown defensive competence at multiple infield positions but struggled offensively in a brief major league stint last year. Meanwhile, right-hander Matt Bowman has cleared waivers and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Norfolk, providing non-roster relief depth for the Orioles going forward.
