Tyler Wells goes on IL with right elbow inflammation. Update: Albert Suarez will start today's 1pm start.

No, the corresponding move to Wells going on the IL was Banuelos today.

Heasley has to stay down until sometime next week, unless someone else goes on the iL.

Thanks I didn't hear about that move so yeah Heasley isn't coming up unless another Oriole goes on the IL.

He must have options

Or no one would claim him if he was DFA'ed.

If/when Bradish and/or Means comes back, I've gotta think Wells goes to the pen.  Just based off this being -as previously mentioned- the third year in a row he can't stay healthy and not miss a start.  And we're still inside the first month of the season, he's already having elbow inflammation.

IMO, the most basic thing about being a starter is being able to take the ball every 5th day.  I think Irvin can do that, unfortunately Wells can't seem to be that dude.  That might be a too simplistic way of looking at the problem, but as much as I like Wells he just doesn't have the durability to be a starter.  

I hope that his stuff will be able to play up in the pen, that he can add a tick or two to the fastball.

Suarez.

No way it’s less than a month imo.

Worth a shot. Hasn't been great in Norfolk so far but I'm not sure I'd have much more confidence in Zimmermann.

O's will have no problem DFAing him after he starts.  Didn't Sedlock get a start last year?

Who?

Cody Sedlock.

I honestly forgot Zimmermann was still in the organization.  

If that's the guy for a one start...well, I suppose so.  But I'd hope to see Povich up after for the next time through the rotation.

Sedlock is retuning for 18 months away from the game. He did not make a start last year.

I didn't say he did.  The homie @Billy F-Face3seemed to not know who Cody Sedlock was.

Anyway, best of luck to Sedlock.

I just looked at the rosters and there's no listing of Sedlock. Neither of the Suarez's is on the 40 man roster either.  Cade Povich and Chayce McDermott have pitched too recently for their contract to be selected and called up, so you can eliminate them from the options.

The options are Zimmerman, Suarez, and John Means. Suarez is not on the 40 man and John Means is still ramping up for his return off the IL.

All those factors point to Bruce Zimmerman. It would have been his turn to pitch in Norfolk anyway. (Last game he pitched, he piggy backed off of Means.)

Thanks homie. I did not know.

If you missed the Cody Sedlock Era, you probably blinked.

Hey F-Face. Cody Sedlock once threw 10-2/3 shutout innings on 132 pitches, only allowing 5 hits.

I would happily sacrifice Bryan Baker from the 40 man roster.
