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."

      Norby and Vespi coming up?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      It will be interesting to see how they handle Norby. Norby can play 2B and corner outfield, but he's a below average defender at 2B.  The Orioles history suggest Norby will be a bench guy for now with Urias slotting in at 3B and Westburg at 2B mostly while Mateo is out. Saying that, Norby give the Orioles a good right-handed bat off the bench and a guy who could spell Mullins with Cowser slotting over to CF.  The question is whether Norby will get some Hays PAs?  I'd personally like to just drop him at 2B and keep Westburg at 3B with Urias on the bench, but that would not be how the Orioles typically break in non "impact" rookies.  Either way, this is a well earned major league debut for Norby. Here's to hoping he's given a chance to play a bit.

      I think it’s a fair argument to make about players like Kjerstad. His promotion was questioned at the time as he was raking in AAA and there was not an obvious opportunity to play when promoted. And sure enough he sat on the bench primarily for weeks and was demoted. i think there’s a difference between promoting a player like Kjerstad and promoting a Maton etc. Our top prospects should only be promoted if they are going to get a long leash on playing time a la Holliday (IMO)

      Extend Burnes

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Notwithstanding age and position, I think I'm still on Team Adley for priority 1. One of the management talking points is around avoiding the risk of "creating complacency" when a ballplayer good enough to rate it gets their forever fortune. I think the other side of that being too stingy is "creating resentment" in your labor force. Burnes is an interesting cat as he's taken some actions that real world illustrate how created resentment looks in the cliches only constrained world of ballplayers and clubs interacting with media. I think Elias/Sig modeling a healthy respect for the opportunity Burnes has just about earned himself might help even if they know today their recommendation to ownership is an aggressive chase that already has the green light.     Information how Burnes fares the next 4-5 months is valuable, especially how his stuff plays against the best of the best once he's 30.     Fun fact ALCS Game 7 could fall 10.22.2024 precisely on Burnes' 30th birthday.

      Is Rich Hill an option? I believe he was looking to sign with someone mid year. Would we consider him?

      They bring them up because we need to have guys on the bench available to pinch hit, pinch run, substitute for injured players, or give somebody a rest.   It's not a matter of not believing in them.  Some will get chances to start and some won't.   Just because a guy is starting every day in AAA doesn't mean he should get a chance to start every day (or even most to the time) in the majors.
