Ubaldo goes on Sat and Miley goes Monday. This is per Brit. On my phone so I can't link.

I wonder what his pitch limit is? 2 innings thrown in over a month.

O'day can potentially be back this week too

Let's all just hope he's fully recovered and is able to pitch as well as he has all season prior to his last start.

Did he have a rehab start? Seems awfully risky to throw him back into the rotation in the middle of a pennant race. Hopefully he is on a short leash and the bullpen is rested and ready if it doesn't go well.

You know, and maybe, he comes out blazing, like the pitcher that went 14-2 in the first part of the season?

I imagine that Worley or Wilson will be on call, if Tilly doesn't look like he's feeling good.

He hasn't thrown a pitch since August 20th when he only went 2 innings. That'll have been 3 weeks ago.

I doubt we can expect much. And I'm actually worried that he'll: be rusty. And rusty Tillman is a mess. Or perhaps worse: he rushed himself back. Players do it all the time.

I'd prefer a rehab start...but I get that we're in a predicament here. But I suppose if it's Tillman or Miley...you do Tillman every time. Especially against Detroit. Miley's 12 H/9 while w/ the O's is sure to increase if he pitched against Detroit in Detroit.

How can they do that? Aren't all the minor league seasons over?

They can simulate games in Sarasota.

I don't think a sim game really serves the same function as a rehab start. It's much less competitive.

[MurphDogg]

I am excited about this, I will be at the game in Detroit on Sunday. Anyone else going to be at the game?

I'm just hoping they do their due diligence. Buck likes to give veterans the benefit of the doubt. Hope they're right this time.

Better than nothing. I really don't like the idea of throwing an injured player directly back into the rotation during a pennant race. Maybe he did a couple of innings that we don't know about?
