The Orioles Thursday selected four minor league players in the Rule 5 Draft, including 23-year-old right-hander Randor Bierd from the Detroit Tigers organization. Beard was 4-3 with one save and a 2.93 ERA in 42 games last season in Class A and AA.

The 6-4 native of the Dominican Republic was the third overall pick in the draft and his selection gives the Orioles 38 players on their major league roster.
