Garrett Atkins DFA'd, Koji's back
As expected, in order to make room for reliever Koji Uehara on the O's roster, the underachieving Garrett was designated for assignment before the start of Sunday's game against the Nationals where the Orioles will attempt to sweep their slumping Beltway rivals.
Atkins, who batted just .214 with one home run and nine RBI in 44 games (140 at-bats), was signed via free agency this past offseason after a sub par season with the Colorado Rockies where he hit just .226.
