According to Ken Rosenthal and John Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com, the Baltimore Orioles have changed their position on left-hander Mark Hendrickson, and the team is now electing to keep the veteran lefty.

Yesterday, it was reported that the Orioles were talking to the Rockies about a deal for Hendrickson, but that deal appears to be off at the moment, which is about par for the course for this time of year.

According to a source in the story the Orioles have decided that they want to keep Hendrickson to protect their young pitchers, and following the injury to Brad Bergesen last night, the Orioles may use Hendrickson to replace him in the rotation temporarily.
