The Baltimore Orioles recalled right-hander Dean Kremer to start Monday's series opener at home against the Arizona Diamondbacks, while left-hander Cade Povich was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.

Kremer, 30, has been a regular starter for the Orioles since 2022 but opened the current season at Norfolk after he was optioned at the end of spring training. He had a 5.00 ERA in three spring starts (nine innings), after he was 11-10 with a 4.19 ERA in 31 outings (29 starts) last season.

In two starts at Triple-A to open the season, he was 0-1 with a 2.89 ERA. He also made a start with Israel's team at the World Baseball Classic this spring and went 4 1/3 scoreless innings to earn the win.

Over his six seasons in Baltimore, the former 14th-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2018, has gone 41-40 with a 4.26 ERA in 126 appearances (123 starts).

Povich, 26, was 1-0 with a 2.19 ERA in two appearances (one start) for the Orioles this season and is 7-17 with a 5.02 ERA in 40 appearances (37 starts) for Baltimore since 2024.

Povich and Brandon Young have each made a start in the Orioles' rotation spot vacated by Zach Eflin because of elbow discomfort. Kremer now gets a turn in that rotation spot.
