Tillman won't make his scheduled start Saturday after the Orioles-Indians matchup was postponed, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. With the Orioles and Indians set to play a double-header on Sunday, Tillman will likely take the mound for one of those contests. He was already set to pitch on extended rest Saturday, having last pitched on Sunday.

Tillman will make his next start Saturday, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports. Tillman, who last started Sunday, will get an extra day of rest and take the hill Saturday for the second game of a three-game set against the Indians.

Tillman got shelled on Sunday as he gave up six earned runs on six hits while striking out just one batter over just 1.1 innings pitched against Toronto. Tillman only recorded four outs in an ugly outing on Sunday. He's been very ineffective up to this point and holds an awful ERA of 6.22. Tillman doesn't possess a whole lot of value in the fantasy world at this time, and we wouldn't recommend owning him with the recent track record.

Tillman gave up three runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three in six innings in Tuesday's win over the Phillies. Tillman had a good chance of winning his third start in a row Tuesday since he was playing the woeful Phillies, and he made good on his advantage in the matchup. Despite his recent success in the win column, Tillman has still been pretty mediocre lately. Over his last five starts, Tillman's ERA went from 5.59 to 5.58, so it does not seem like much has changed in terms of his production. In addition to not being great at preventing runs, Tillman has recorded more than five strikeouts in just two of his last 10 starts.

Tillman (4-7) gave up four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two in 5.2 innings in Thursday's win over the Red Sox. Tillman started off hot, retiring the first nine Boston batters before the Red Sox scored four in the fourth. After having lost six of seven starts, Tillman has now won two in a row, and he's improved his record against the Red Sox to 9-3. He'll take the mound again in his next scheduled start Tuesday against Philadelphia.

Tillman allowed two runs on six hits, walking three and striking out three over 6.1 innings of a 5-2 win against Cleveland on Friday night. Tillman (3-7, 5.61 ERA) has been abysmal this season, but apparently a visit with the offensively struggling Indians was enough to provide him with some much-needed relief. He allowed nine baserunners and needed 101 pitches (64 for strikes to cover the 6.1 innings against a team that is struggling to score runs so it may be prudent to take a wait-and-see approach to using him in your fantasy rotation right now.

Tillman continued his downward spiral Sunday, allowing six runs - five earned - on nine hits with three walks and seven strikeouts in a loss to the Rays. Tillman has not shown off any of his 2013 or 2014 form in his 10 starts this season. After walking 2.9 batters per nine innings in those two seasons, Tillman has walked 4.8 batters per nine innings this season. He simply has not been the same pitcher this season.

Tillman went seven innings against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts, but was stuck with his sixth loss of the season. Tillman did not allow a run in his first six innings but faded in the seventh, giving up runs on a base knocks by Chris Carter and Jason Castro. Still, it was a significant step forward for Tillman, who had turned in quality starts in just two of his first eight outings of the year. His last one came back on May 1 against the Rays, whom he'll face Saturday in his second start of the week.

Tillman was limited to three innings due to a rain delay Thursday against the Mariners, allowing a run on one hit and three walks while striking out two. Tillman came into the game having missed his last start due to back stiffness, and he wasn't necessarily sharp, but he was still pitching moderately effectively until a long rain delay forced the O's to remove him from the game. Nonetheless, this has been an awfully rough year for him so far, as Tillman sports a hideous 6.10 ERA and 29:22 K:BB -- numbers that don't inspire a lot of optimism. He's scheduled to take on the Astros on Tuesday.

Tillman (back) has been confirmed as Thursday's starter, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports. This was anticipated and now we have confirmation that Tillman will indeed take the ball against the Mariners. While his ERA is a bloated 6.34, most of that damage has come in three games against the Toronto Blue Jays, so it is not difficult to make the case that he is still a quality option when he is not facing Toronto.
