The Orioles have placed infielder Ryan Flaherty on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to August 2, with a bacterial infection and recalled reliever Miguel Socolovich from Triple-A Norfolk. Flaherty left the ballpark before last night's game with a 103-degree fever. He was getting blood work done today to determine whether he had mononucleosis. Socolovich has posted a 9.00 ERA in seven innings over four appearances with the Orioles this season. Also, Matt Wieters is behind the plate again after catching 14 innings last night. For the Orioles: Nick Markakis RF J.J. Hardy SS Chris Davis DH Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters C Wilson Betemit 3B Nate McLouth LF Mark Reynolds 1B Omar Quintanilla 2B Steve Johnson RHP Down on the farm, pitchers Eric Beaulac and Zach Fowler have moved up from Single-A Frederick to Norfolk. Beaulac is taking Johnson's place in the rotation, making him the 24th pitcher to start for the Tides this season, one shy of the International League record of 25 set by Buffalo in 2002 and 2004. For the Mariners: Dustin Ackley 2B Michael Sauders CF Jesus Montero DH John Jaso C Kyle Seager 3B Mike Carp 1B Trayvon Robinson LF Eric Thames RF Munenori Kawasaki SS Kevin Millwood RHP
