Showalter eliminated Gausman and Randy Wolf from consideration for Tuesday's start against the Rangers. He doesn't want Gausman working on short rest, saying it wouldn't be "fair to him or the team or the organization or the fans, because I think it puts him in harm's way." Wolf is limited to about three innings and 50 pitches at Norfolk after signing a minor league contract over the weekend. The bullpen would have to cover too many innings.

"We'll be all right," Showalter said. "We have some good options. That's kind of where you were hoping a guy like Johan (Santana) would fit in."

Reliever T.J. McFarland is a strong candidate to start Tuesday, "but it depends what happens between now and then," Showalter said. "We're going to try to win every game we can and see what's standing on Tuesday. I have thought about what day would be the last day I'd feel comfortable using a guy like Mac before you could start him on Tuesday, and also how far we felt like a guy like him could go compared to a guy in Norfolk or Bowie."

Gausman could be recalled to start Wednesday or Thursday, though Showalter isn't making any promises.

"Nothing's said that he's going to be back when those 10 days are up," Showalter said. "We don't have to do that."

Showalter is confident that Bud Norris will be ready to come off the disabled list when eligible on July 7. Norris underwent an MRI yesterday that revealed a strained right groin.

"That's one of the things we're able to do now that we weren't able to do in the past is the MRI," Showalter said. "You can tell the degree of severity, and when they said it was going to be four or five days before he should get on the hill again, that would take us to the 10 days. You can only backdate 10 days, so waiting around isn't very beneficial.

"We feel confident we can resolve it in the DL period."

      Jackson Holliday 2024

      By gtman55 · Posted

      He just doesn't seem ready to me. The only thing to do is send him down. It's a huge leap from AAA to the majors and it's showing. And not just at bat where he looks like a single A guy trying to hit off Cy Young. He is really shaky in the field and even his throws seem slow. I think keeping him up here is a mistake for the team and for Jackson at this point. Let him go back to Norfolk and have him work on his fielding at second and fine tune his swing and his approach at bat. I feel bad for the kid but even worse if he continues to flail (and fail) at bat after at bat up here.

      He only threw a 55% of his pitches for strikes and only missed 6 bats but yet he only let up 5 base runners. Odd start. Wasn’t really good but it didn’t hurt him either.

      I’m guessing:  1. Gunnar - SS 2. Adley - DH 3. Mountcastle - 1B 4. Santander - RF 5. Westburg - 3B 6. Mullins - CF 7. Hays - LF 8. Urias - 2B 9. McCann - C Hyde may flip Hays and Mullins for righty/lefty reasons.

      Orioles make Ben Clemens’ five favorite things this week

      By Frobby · Posted

      2. The Other Baby Birds We get it, Orioles: You’ve got talent. Adley Rutschman, Gunnar Henderson, and Jackson Holliday are consensus top prospects from three consecutive years, which is ridiculous when you stop and think about it. They’re slam dunk great hitters, all of them. They even have the same flowing golden locks and questionable facial hair choices. (In Henderson’s defense, his mustache is allegedly only still around because he broke out when shaving it off.) The future of the Orioles is a great baseball club that looks like a prep school lacrosse team. Plot twist: Those guys have been a mixed bag so far this year. Henderson is mashing, to the tune of a 171 wRC+, but Rutschman hasn’t found his power stroke yet; he checks in at a disappointing 106 wRC+. Holliday got a late start, and he’s still searching for his first extra-base hit. In aggregate, the three have put up a 110 wRC+, not what you’d hope for from a trio of franchise saviors. Not to worry, though. The other prospects the Orioles have amassed in recent years are more than picking up the slack. Michael Baumann — our Michael Baumann, not Baltimore’s — already covered Colton Cowser’s hot start, with the 250 wRC+ and homers to parts of the stadium that no one was even sure existed. But that might undersell how outrageously fun his start has been. The nicknames are coming in hot and heavy. Fans are already calling him “The Milkman.” The Camden Yards faithful moo every time he comes to the plate. “They’re not booing, they’re saying (word)” is a pretty common sports trope, but “They’re not booing, they’re mooing” is definitely a new one for me. Cow masks at the stadium are just par for the course now: Cowser might be turning fans into cow people, but another O’s youngster is breaking out just as much at the same time. Jordan Westburg isn’t a rookie – he played half a season last year and looked like a steady contributor. He’s off to nearly as hot of a start as Cowser, though, and he’s doing it in huge spots. He keeps coming up with runners on base, and he keeps racking up extra bases and RBI. Is his start sustainable? Probably not. It’s hard to run a .349 BABIP, hard to have as many extra-base hits as singles, hard to barrel 12.5% of your batted balls and make hard contact 62.5% of the time without huge raw power. But his approach looks legit, and it’s not like he’s hitting those doubles and home runs by accident. He has a solid approach and a fly ball swing. The stadium isn’t a plus for him given the bite out of the left field fence, but he looks like a nice everyday contributor at worst, and I’m willing to dream on a little more than that. He can also handle second and third defensively, which suits Baltimore’s roster quite well. That doesn’t even mention Coby Mayo and Heston Kjerstad, who are absolutely annihilating Triple-A at the moment. Connor Norby and Kyle Stowers have started hot. Yes, the O’s are headlined by their flaxen-haired top trio, but there are more reinforcements waiting in the wings, and the other birds are helping to drive the offense right now. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/five-things-i-liked-or-didnt-like-this-week-april-19/
