Showalter said he hopes that things will calm down over the next few days and a little rest will be all that Tillman needs.

Orioles pitcher Chris Tillman discusses the start of Spring Training and looking forward to the 2016 campaign ahead

"[Trainer] Richie [bancells] said he felt pretty good about it when he left last night. Said [Tillman] got up last night and felt it at home," Showalter said. "I think Richie was a little surprised it wasn't a lot better today."

It's too soon to know how much -- if at all -- the injury will affect Tillman, who is projected to be in the Orioles' starting rotation.

"I don't want to paint it as cautious and then, I don't know. There's a lot of unknown. Who knows where we go?" Showalter said. "Richie said if we get to the point where it didn't get better in a while -- I don't know what a while is -- we might do an MRI [exam] on it. See if there's something else there. But we're not there yet."

I think it might have more to do with the lower muscle to hair ratio of today's players:

    • What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days. 
    • Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.
    • He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.
    • Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next. 
    • I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
