The Baltimore Orioles have been on a tear in the past week, winning eight of their last nine games and further lengthening their division lead in the AL East to 12.5 games over the Toronto Blue Jays.
At this point, the Orioles have managed to dwindle down their magic number to clinch the division all the way to just one game, which means they could capture the division crown as early as Tuesday night.
The team has been adapting to several changes within the club, which includes the 25-game suspension of first baseman Chris Davis after testing positive for amphetamines and the addition of several key players, including outfielder Alejandro De Aza and utility infielder Kelly Johnson.
A group of players who could go unnoticed, however, are the September call-ups, which haven't made considerable impacts as of yet but have seen action that would indicate their roles in the coming weeks.
Here are a few things we've learned so far from some of the September call-ups and what they might mean going forward.
