Orioles News: Orioles starter Asher Wojciechowski had to leave the game in the 4th with elbow discomfort.

The question is, are they are to recommend elbow surgery now or eight weeks from now when he fails to rehab it?

I have seen pitchers have "set backs" before in this simulation. He's going to be out at least six weeks.

A guy like Asher, this just might be it for him.

I'll probably give his spot to either Akin of Stewart. Haven't decided yet. Probably will go with Stewart and give Akin a couple of start in AAA at least.

Was he our 3rd starter?  Well let’s hope Cobb stays healthy.

He was with Milone and LeBlanc the 4th and 5th starters.

Bummer. The pitching had actually been decent to this point. How about calling up Carroll and going with an opener?

You still need five guys that can go 5-6 innings if you use an opener.
