Luis Exposito News: Exposito was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, the Baltimore Sun reports.

Exposito was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, the Baltimore Sun reports.

Taylor Teagarden's recent dislocated left thumb allowed for a brief stay on the major league roster for Exposito. However, Exposito did not make an appearance, and following Sunday's acquisition of Chris Snyder, the writing was on the wall for his return to the minors. It remains to be seen how the Orioles' catching situation shakes out once Teagarden is healthy enough for a return, but Exposito is clearly at the bottom of the totem pole among the organization's top options.
