Baltimore Orioles encounter a pitching setback with John Means and Dean Kremer placed on the 15-day injured list due to forearm and triceps strains, respectively.

Kremer's injury occurred during a recent game against St. Louis, prompting his cautious removal after four innings.

Manager Brandon Hyde is optimistic about Kremer's speedy recovery but has not yet decided on his replacement for the upcoming game.

In response, Baltimore has called up Dillon Tate and Nick Vespi from Triple-A Norfolk and sent Jonathan Heasley down.

The team remains focused on regrouping and staying competitive in the AL East race against the leading New York Yankees.
