The Orioles have activated Ramon Hernandez from the DL.  This helps the Orioles out quite a bit….especially on offense.  In 35 games this season, Hernandez is 30 for 124 (.242 avg, .707 OPS) with 15 runs scored, 3 homers and 27 RBIs.  To make room on the roster, the Orioles designated Alberto Castillo for assignment.  Castillo played in 11 games this season for the Orioles and he was 5 for 31 (.161 avg, .552 OPS) with 5 runs scored, 1 homer and 3 RBIs.  The Orioles hope that Castillo will go unclaimed on waivers so they can send him back to AAA, but he might not make it through.
