Chris Tillman held the Rays to two runs in six-plus innings in winning Thursday. Tillman walked the first two batters he faced in the first, but he settled down after that and took a shutout into the seventh, when he walked Ryan Roberts and then gave up back-to-back doubles to Carlos Pena and Sam Fuld. Darren O'Day took over from there and stranded Fuld to keep the score 5-2. Tillman has won three of his four starts since debuting on July 4. Next up is a tougher test against the Yankees, so mixed leaguers may want to look elsewhere.

Chris Tillman had another outstanding performance in Saturday night's win over the Indians, surrendering just one run on six hits over 6 2/3 innings. Tillman punched out four while walking one. After giving up a solo homer to Shin-Soo Choo in the first inning, Tillman bore down and shut down the Tribe's offense for the rest of the night. Through three starts, he's now compiled a 2-1 record, 1.15 ERA and 12/5 K/BB ratio. Tillman should be owned and started in all fantasy formats when he faces the Rays at home on Thursday.

Chris Tillman couldn't make it out of the opening frame Monday, getting blasted for seven runs - one earned - on five hits and two walks over 2/3 of an inning in a loss to the Twins. An error by Mark Reynolds saved his ERA, but there's no sugarcoating this one. Tillman showed improved velocity and held the Mariners scoreless over 8 1/3 innings the last time out, but it's clear he's not ready to be on mixed league rosters. If he gets another start, it will come against the Rays.

Orioles recalled RHP Chris Tillman from Double-A Bowie. Tillman will start for the Orioles on Monday night against the light-hitting Twins. It's a nice matchup, but the right-hander should be avoided for fantasy purposes.

Chris Tillman will make his next start Monday due to back spasms. Miguel Gonzalez will be moved up one day and start Sunday. Tillman was optioned to the minors last week as a procedural move, so the Orioles will need to make a corresponding move prior to Monday's game.

Chris Tillman gave up three runs over 3 1/3 innings Monday with Double-A Bowie. Tillman was optioned to the minors last Wednesday after giving up two unearned runs over 8 1/3 innings against the Mariners. However, the O's simply sent him down in order to keep him on his regular turn. He'll return to the majors Sunday against the Tigers.

MASN.com confirms Chris Tillman will make his next start Sunday against the Tigers. Tillman was optioned in order to keep him on schedule, and will return to pitch the third game after the All-Star break. The 24-year-old former top prospect was recently chosen as the Orioles' minor league pitcher of the month and is worth a flier in AL-only leagues.

Making his season debut against the team that drafted him, Chris Tillman took a shutout into the ninth Wednesday and ended up allowing two unearned runs in 8 1/3 innings in a win over the Mariners. A Robert Andino error cost Tillman a possible shutout, but he can't be disappointed about today. Tillman was starting to look like a lost cause a year ago, but his velocity, which had dropped significantly, is now better than ever, as he was regularly in the mid-90s today. He might be inconsistent, but don't be surprised if he turns into a big asset in AL-only leagues the rest of the way. Even mixed leaguers may want to take a shot.

Chris Tillman will make his season debut for the Orioles Wednesday against the Mariners. Jake Arrieta will be pushed back a day to Thursday. "This is what I've worked all season for," said Tillman. "I've gotten in a good routine and it's working well. I'm real excited." Tillman posted a 3.63 ERA and nice 92/30 K/BB ratio over 89 1/3 innings for Norfolk this season.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter confirmed that Chris Tillman will be recalled to start either Wednesday or Thursday. It's suspected that Tillman will get the ball Wednesday, with Jake Arrieta going Thursday. The righty holds a 3.63 ERA and nice 92/30 K/BB ratio over 89 1/3 innings for Norfolk this season, but his 5.58 ERA in 36 career major league starts tells you to not gamble on him outside of AL-only leagues.
