• The Orioles agreed to terms with third-round Draft pick Stephen Tarpley for $525,000, according to Baseball America. He is a left-handed pitcher out of Scosttdale (Ariz.) Community College.

• Steve Johnson (strained left oblique) felt mild improvement Thursday. He hadn't improved much the previous two days, so Showalter said that was encouraging.

• Wilson Betemit is still taking ground balls in Sarasota.

• Nate McLouth was thrown out attempting to steal second base Wednesday, which snapped his streak of 19 consecutive successful stolen bases.

• OriolesREACH and Adam Jones will donate $75,000 to Brooklyn O'Malley Boys and Girls Club in Baltimore. The donation will renovate and expand a Technology and Learning Center within the Club at 3560 3rd Street. Jones was a member of the Encanto Boys and Girls Club in San Diego as a child.

• Jair Jurrjens is scheduled to start Friday for Norfolk. He missed his last scheduled start with a right finger injury.

• The Orioles on Friday will wear special "digi-camo" jerseys and hats in honor of flag day and the Army's birthday. The authenticated hats will be available in an online auction Friday night at orioles.com/auction, and proceeds will benefit the Fort Meade Alliance Resiliency Center Fund.
