The O's have moved Rodrigo Lopez back to bullpen

This is the right move considering Lopez is rather ineffective after his second and third times through a lineup. The best place for him is in the role that he occupied so well earlier this season.

The O's will now go with a rotation of Sidney Ponson, Eric DuBose, Daniel Cabrera, Matt Riley and Erik Bedard. Riley starts tonight after a successful stint in the minors. Hopefully he has turned things around and can become a decent starter over the rest of the season.

The Orioles sent Rick Bauer back to Ottawa to make room for Riley.
