Gausman is expected to be recalled by the Orioles to start Thursday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. Gausman was bypassed for a start during either of Sunday's doubleheader games against the Indians, with manager Buck Showalter opting to give the ball to Ubaldo Jimenez and Chris Tillman for those contests. However, it doesn't appear Gausman will have to wait long before getting an opportunity with the big club, as he's expected to pitch an abbreviated outing Sunday with Norfolk in preparation for Thursday's turn with Baltimore. The hard-throwing Gausman possesses as much potential as any pitcher on the Orioles' staff, but had yet to break through while working mostly in a relief role earlier this season. He's posted a 4.24 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, and 14:6 K:BB ratio over 17 innings with the O's.
