MINNEAPOLIS -- The Orioles shook up their roster Sunday before their series finale against the Twins with a flurry of moves that impact the look of their rotation, bullpen and situation behind the plate.

Here is a breakdown:

Cobb placed on 10-day injured list with lumbar strain

Alex Cobb recently downplayed the extent his back spasms played into what has been a frustrating stretch for the veteran righty. He said he “feels just fine” after he allowed a career-high four home runs Friday in a 6-1 loss to the Twins. But Cobb also said the struggles were “directly related” to the 16 days off they required, after his lumbar strain landed him on the injured list the first time April 6.

Cobb allowed 13 earned runs in 6 2/3 innings since returning, losing both starts and allowing seven home runs.

“Can you see it? He’s just not getting the extension on his pitches that he would like, and it’s frustrating for him and it’s probably leading to some other things,” Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said. “We thought it was best to give him some time to heal up a little bit.”

Cobb returned to Baltimore and likely will head to the club’s spring complex in Sarasota at some point with an eye toward getting healthy in a controlled environment. There is currently no timetable for Cobb, who also missed his first start of the season because of a right groin strain. This IL stint is his third of 2019.

“How long it’s going to be is still totally undetermined,” Hyde said. “I don’t want to rush him at all.”

David Hess moves back into the rotation, two days after the righty was bumped to the bullpen to make room for left-hander John Means. Hess is 1-4 with a 5.88 ERA across six appearances (five starts) this season. He will start Wednesday against the White Sox in Cobb’s place.

Sucre designated for assignment

Exactly a month after tabbing him their Opening Day catcher, the Orioles lost patience with Jesús Sucre. The move likely brings an end to his brief tenure in Baltimore. Signed to a Minor League deal this winter, the veteran backup benefitted from the club’s decision to keep Chance Sisco at Triple-A, but Sucre struggled on both sides of the ball in 20 games.

Always a glove-first player, Sucre hit .210 with no home runs and 13 strikeouts in 67 plate appearances. Though he did throw out four of eight attempted basestealers, Sucre allowed three passed balls in 147 defensive innings, tied for the most among American League backstops. He also ranked poorly in several framing metrics.

When a player's contract is designated for assignment -- often abbreviated "DFA" -- that player is immediately removed from his club's 40-man roster, and 25-man roster if he was on that. Within seven days of the transaction -- it was previously 10 days -- the player must either be traded, released or placed on irrevocable outright waivers.

Wynns recalled from Triple-A

To replace Sucre, the Orioles called on Austin Wynns, who saw his bid for a roster spot torpedoed by a left oblique strain this spring. Healthy again, Wynns will split time behind the plate with Pedro Severino, Hyde said. The 28-year-old started Sunday, batting sixth.

“I was trying to get back as fast as I can, and that probably prolonged it. But I have no issues anymore,” Wynns said, knocking on the wood of his locker. “Oblique, no more.”

Wynns hit .333/.487/.400 in nine Minor League games this season, split across Triple-A Norfolk and Double-A Bowie. He batted .255 with four home runs and an 84 OPS-plus in 42 games as a rookie in 2018.

Yacabonis optioned to Triple-A; Kline recalled

The Orioles’ latest bullpen rejiggering targeted Jimmy Yacabonis after the righty surrendered four runs on three homers in two innings Saturday. Yacabonis allowed multiple runs in three of his last six appearances and owns a 6.32 ERA in 10 games this season. He had been one of Hyde’s primary multi-inning options.

Right-hander Branden Kline made his Major League debut serving as the 26th man for a doubleheader April 20, when he allowed two runs over two innings. The outing capped an emotional journey to the big leagues for Kline, a former second-round pick who missed close to three full seasons due to elbow injuries.

Right-hander Luis Ortiz had a one-day stint with the Orioles. He was called up from Triple-A before the game and sent down afterward without making an appearance. Acquired in last summer’s Jonathan Schoop deal, Ortiz made his big league debut in September and had a 5.87 ERA in four Triple-A starts this spring.

Baltimore’s relief corps sported a 6.84 ERA entering Sunday, by far the highest in the American League.

“We have a lot of innings to cover, and sometimes I’m leaving guys in there longer than I want to because we’re trying to get through it,” Hyde said. “I’d love to see some guys step up, get some outs, like to see some starters go a little deeper, to not see so much shuffling going on.”

Armstrong claimed off waivers

The Orioles filled Sucre’s 40-man roster spot immediately, claiming right-hander Shawn Armstrong off waivers from the Mariners. Armstrong is 1-2 with a 3.65 ERA in 57 career appearances dating to 2015, but he owns a 14.73 ERA in four games this season. He is out of options and is expected to join the Orioles this week in Chicago, at which point the club will be required to make a corresponding move.
