The Baltimore Orioles placed pitcher Alfredo Simon on outright waivers, sources told MLB.com and The Baltimore Sun on Friday. Dan Duquette, the Orioles' executive vice president of baseball operations, told both outlets that information about the waiver process is confidential and that Simon currently remains on the 40-man roster. The right-hander will remain on the roster until he clears waivers or a team claims him. The Baltimore Sun reported that the team is not expected to make an announcement until that time.
