Manager Buck Showalter indicated last night that the Orioles could add a seventh reliever after Brad Brach worked 2 2/3 scoreless innings in an 8-6 loss to the Rangers. They're lacking a long man to back up left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.

The Orioles optioned Wilson on June 20 and he's been down the minimum 10 days, making him eligible to return without replacing an injured player. The Orioles would have to clear a spot for him on the 25-man roster.

Wilson held the Blue Jays to one run over 5 2/3 relief innings on June 19. He's 1 -1 with a 2.12 ERA in five appearances, including one start.

Wilson threw seven scoreless innings in his last start for Norfolk on June 24. The former 10th-round draft pick is 3-4 with an 2.80 ERA in 11 starts for the Tides.
