Tillman (hip) threw batting practice Monday and remains on track to start Thursday, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman's session appears to have gone well and there has been no report of a setback. He should be able to go two innings Thursday.

Tillman (hip) is scheduled to make his first appearance of the spring Thursday after throwing live batting practice Monday, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman's hip injury has caused him to miss a week of games, but the injury has always been indicated as minor. He still has plenty of time to get stretched out before the beginning of the season. As of now, all indications point to Tillman being healthy to begin the regular season.

Tillman (hip) is expected to throw a bullpen session Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman has been dealing with a hip ailment for the past week, but appears to be making significant progress. His tentative timetable is to rest a few days after the upcoming bullpen session before throwing a live batting practice, which should put him in line to make his Grapefruit League debut March 9 or 10.

Tillman (hip) worked out Tuesday morning after receiving a cortisone injection Monday, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman will continue to work out and throw, with an eye on returning to game action March 9 or 10. Of all the times to have an injury, he picked the right one. Tillman should be able to put this injury behind him with plenty of time remaining before Opening Day.

Tillman (hip) felt good after throwing a bullpen session Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman will still receive a cortisone shot Tuesday to help with his recovery, but he did not encounter any issues either during or after his mound session. He will likely take it easy for a couple days but is on track to make his first appearance of the spring at some point next week.

Tillman (hip) had an MRI on Sunday to make sure he didn't have a sports hernia, and the results reportedly were clean, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is great news for the Orioles, as it means Tillman will likely be able to start pitching again pretty soon. He's tentatively slated to pitch in Saturday's intrasquad game, but the Orioles may wait a little longer just to ensure that their starter completely heals.

Tillman (hip) described his injury as a "hip flexor" rather than a core muscle injury and said he feels better Monday, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles have their first spring training game Tuesday and it is unlikely Tillman will be a participant for that. With it still being early in spring training, the Orioles have the luxury of holding him out a few days before giving him game action. Tillman stated the injury is minor and it seems like he could get in a game later this week.

Tillman missed a spring training start Sunday due to a core muscle injury and could receive an MRI if it doesn't get better, Roch Kubatko of MASN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While it doesn't look like this will cost Tillman any significant time for now, eyebrows would be raised if he has to go in for an MRI. A nagging core injury is one of the last things Tillman needs as he tries to bounce back from a rough 2015 campaign, in which he allowed a 4.99 ERA and 1.387 WHIP.

Tillman and the Orioles agreed to terms on a one-year, $6.225 million deal Friday, avoiding arbitration, the Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman made 31 starts last season, throwing 173 innings and posting a 4.99 ERA. It was a departure from the success he'd found over the previous three seasons, when he posted sub-four ERAs. Regardless, he'll jump up nearly $2 million in salary after making $4.315 million in 2015. Tillman has one more year of arbitration eligibility before hitting free agency following the 2017 season.

Tillman will start Sunday's season finale for the Orioles, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tillman did not get to make a start Friday due to a rainout. Rather than have him pitch in Saturday's doubleheader, Tillman is now slated to start Sunday. Tillman has two quality starts in a row after failing to notch a quality start in his prior four starts. Still, Tillman had a 5.73 ERA for August and he sported a 7.03 ERA in September with a 1.44 ERA over the two month period. Depending on how things shake out in Saturday's doubleheader, the Yankees may start a strong lineup or rest most of its starters before the Wild Card game.
