Tillman (groin) has been placed on the disabled list, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman is another reclamation project the Rangers are attempting, but it has not gone well. He's allowed four runs in 2.2 innings before injuring his groin in his second start.

Tillman threw only 11 pitches in his start Tuesday at Triple-A Round Rock before exiting with a groin strain, the Associated Press reports.

EDGE Analysis

Making his second appearance for Round Rock since inking a minor-league deal with Texas earlier in the month, Tillman recorded only one out and gave up three runs (two earned) on two hits and a hit by pitch. The right-hander was torched to the tune of a 10.46 ERA and 2.21 WHIP in his seven starts with the Orioles earlier this season and hasn't been much better in his minor-league cameos in the Baltimore or Texas organizations either. Now that he's also nursing an injury, it's beginning to look unlikely he'll receive another promotion to the majors before the 2018 season ends.

Tillman will make his debut for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Wesley Dotson of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

TIllman, 30, spent the first 10 seasons of his career with the Orioles before being granted his release from the organization July 27. He was 1-5 with a 10.46 ERA in seven starts for Baltimore this season. The Rangers are looking at him as a possible reclamation with en eye toward having him in the starting rotation in 2019.

TIllman will report to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman, the former Oriole, was signed to a minor-league contract last week. His first start for Round Rock has not yet been set.

Tillman is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers claimed Tillman after the Orioles released him July 25. He'll throw in front of pitching coaches Doug Brocail and Dan Warthen, the first time the organization will get a live look at its new acquisition. "We'd like to get our arms around him," Texas manager Jeff Banister said. "Let him get to know us, vice-versa. Let him throw a bullpen. That relationship is huge, especially when you get a guy coming from another organization. You get to be around these guys, Dan and Doug, gets some thoughts so when he does pitch there is some familiarity there. Get him in-house and get him going." The Rangers see Tillman as a potential reclamation project, on a similar path as that of Yovani Gallardo. After Saturday's bullpen session, Tillman will report to Triple-A Round Rock.

Tillman inked a minor-league deal with Texas on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman struggled to stay healthy with the Orioles in 2018, as he was on the shelf for the majority of the season due to a lower-back issue prior to electing free agency July 25. He'll report to Double-A Round Rock in the near future, where he'll look to turn his season around.

Tillman will test the open market after being released by the Orioles on Wednesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman returned from the disabled list Friday and was immediately designated for assignment. He declined Baltimore's offer to pitch at Triple-A Norfolk, so he'll look to latch on elsewhere in the big leagues. The 30-year-old started seven games for the Orioles in 2018 and struggled to a 10.46 ERA and 2.21 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 26.2 innings.

Tillman (back) was activated off the 10-day disabled list Friday and designated for assignment by the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman has been on the shelf since mid-May due to a lower-back strain and made six minor-league rehab appearances over the last month, allowing 22 runs (20 earned) on 36 hits over 26.2 innings. The move seemed like an inevitability for the Orioles, as the 30-year-old's 10.46 ERA and 2.21 WHIP prior to suffering the injury made it difficult to justify a spot on the 40-man roster. Tillman will have to pass through waivers, then he could remain at Triple-A Norfolk or opt to test his options in free agency.

Tillman (back) tossed 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three across 5.1 innings during a rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman appeared to be completely healthy during his sixth minor-league rehabilitation assignment. He'll likely be activated from the 10-day disabled list following the All-Star break after missing over two months due to a lower-back strain. Tillman struggled with the big club prior to his injury, accruing a 10.46 ERA and 2.21 WHIP with 13 strikeouts over 26.2 innings, so it's unclear as to what role he'll handle upon his return.

Tillman (back) is slated to start Sunday for Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The plan is for Tillman to make another minor-league start, although with Andrew Cashner (neck) likely shut down until after the All-Star break, Baltimore will need a spot starter Sunday against the Rangers. Tillman could be an option to make the start, although an official announcement won't be made until later in the week.
