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."

    • @RZNJ and @Can_of_corn I appreciate the dialog. I think Jeter could have been a solid defender had he not been asked to play SS. So the quote above, (forgive me for picking a nit), is not entirely accurate. I don't think Jeter was "bad at defense." He was just not +10 at SS. There are a couple of plays that Jeter made that standout to me as showing outstanding defensive skill and situational awareness as well as athleticism. His issue is that he was not gifted with either the arm or the quickness to excel at SS. That coupled with the fact that A-Rod was a much better defensive SS than Jeter when A-Rod joined the MFYs makes me wonder is Jeter might have been a superb 2B or CF but was too stubborn to make the move. 
    • I think you need to give them a full season. Some of these guys will need to repeat because they are young for the level and just need lots of professional PAs.  Some will continue to fail, but the talented ones will keep getting chances for at least 700+PAs in A-ball.
    • Just didn't have the command. Middle-itis. Hopefully a one-off. 
    • Baumann has to be the one to go. I’m sure he’s a swell guy and all but he is not a major league pitcher. 
    • Once upon a time, Suarez was rated the 9th best prospect in the Appy League and as high as the 12th best prospect in the Rays system. He also did get parts of two seasons in the majors with the Giants. I know he's been bouncing around Japan and Korea for the past few years, but he wasn't completely off the radar earlier in his career. Reality may well catch up to him soon, but pitchers have weird trajectories sometimes.
    • I'm not a doctor, so if the O's are confident he is up to going back into the rotation as a full time starter, I suppose I will trust it. However, it makes sense to me to be conservative and manage his innings so he is in peak form in Sept/Oct. Of course, that takes for granted that we can get to the playoffs with him in a lesser role which may not be the case, but my inclination would be to stretch him out later rather than sooner.
    • All of that is fair to point out, some of which I did. My only issue with the snarkiness of the original comment like there was an over reaction going on by pointing out he's off to a disappointing start.  At the end of the day, Basallo is uber talented and he will figure it out.
