flag Orioles optioned Dean Kremer to Triple-A Norfolk ahead of 2026 season due to poor spring performance and roster needs.

flag Right-hander Dean Kremer, who led the Baltimore Orioles in wins and innings in 2025, has been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk ahead of the 2026 season. flag The move, driven by scheduling and roster depth, comes after a 5.00 ERA in three spring training starts and a history of poor early-season performance. flag Kremer, 30, will begin the season in the minors and can be recalled no earlier than April 9 unless a major league pitcher is injured. flag He joins pitchers Brandon Young and Cade Povich, who were also optioned. flag The Orioles’ projected Opening Day rotation includes Trevor Rogers, Kyle Bradish, Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt, and Zach Eflin, who recently returned from back surgery. flag Kremer has a 41-40 record with a 4.26 ERA and 578 strikeouts in 126 appearances over six seasons with Baltimore.
