Gausman threw a scoreless inning, allowing one hit and striking out one in Wednesday's spring training game against the Tigers. Meanwhile, the Orioles said they instructed Gausman not to throw bullpen sessions in the offseason, according to MASN Sports. "First time a guy pitches into October in his life," manager Buck Showalter said. "Just taking a lot precautions with a lot of guys, not just Gausman, to kind of save our bullets as much as possible." The Orioles took it easy on Gausman in the offseason, which is why he did not go two innings. Ubaldo Jimenez imploded one day earlier, but it is way to early to decry one of the rotation spots as belonging to Gausman. It is very possible that Gausman will see an innings limit this season, probably short of 200 innings pitched considering he has not thrown 160 innings in a season in his professional career.
