Right-handed setup man Jim Johnson, 26, will likely get the first opportunity to claim the closer's role. Meanwhile, reliever Kam Mickolio will be recalled to fill the bullpen vacancy while Steve Johnson and Bell will report to Double-A Bowie.

Look through the pictures in the link on the left - 'Sun Archives'....
You’ll find one about a fire on Sherrill drive. Looks like someone at the Sun just searched their photo archives for anything ‘Sherrill’ and posted it.

Actually
According to the Sun, Bergesen is going on the DL and BOTH Ray and Mickolio are coming up for the weekend.
The fill-in starter is TBD.

Ed Price tweet:
#Orioles put RHP Brad Bergesen (bruised leg) on DL, activate Chris Ray from DL, call up Kam Mickolio

Closing is all about attitude
Ray does not seem to have it and his violent delivery is a arm injury waiting to happen.
Baez can not pitch back to back anymore because of arm problems
Jim Johnson has a great arm but he has no command of the strike zone and will make us all be on prozac every game he closes.
I can’t believe anyone would think Koji could close. He does not have a power arm and could do spot closing but he will get clobbered.
If Cam can repeat his release point, develop a hard, biting slider and keep the gas in the 97mp hour range we may have something.
