Orioles manager Dave Trembley said Freddie Bynum, activated Thursday from the 15-day disabled list, would replace Luis Hernandez as the team's starting shortstop. "Right now, Bynum is the starting shortstop on this team," Trembley said before the Orioles opened a four-game series in Kansas City. "What that means is he will be the regular guy that plays." Infielder Eider Torres was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room on the roster. (Updated 05/08/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Bynum hit .350 on his minor-league rehab assignment and just missed the cycle by a home run Saturday. He doesn't have great power, but he can definitely steal a few bases and is worth adding in all AL-only leagues in light of this news. (Updated 05/08/2008).
