Gausman (shoulder) has a chance to be ready to start April 10 against the Rays, MLB Network's Jon Heyman reports.

EDGE Analysis

He could start the year on the DL with a backdating of March 25, which would allow him to slot into the O's rotation without the team having to add another starter to the mix, since they have an off day on Apr. 5. Heyman said it will be a close call, so owners should be prepared for Gausman to have to wait a turn or two before joining the rotation.

Gausman (shoulder) may not be ready for Opening Day, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman had a cortisone injection Sunday and he should attempt to throw in the next day or so. The next step will be determined after that. At minimum, Gausman will probably find himself on an extremely short limit to his pitches. He threw 28 pitches in his last spring start on March 16. Even if he is healthy as the season begins, he will not be able to go deep into games.

Gausman is dealing with right shoulder tendinitis and is expected to remain sidelined for two-to-three days, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman relayed that his throwing shoulder has been bothering him for the last week, and with improvement not coming as quickly as expected, the Orioles directed him to have a cortisone shot. It will take a few days for the shot to have its intended effect, but the Orioles are hopeful that by the end of the week, the 25-year-old will be able to resume throwing again. This minor setback shouldn't affect his outlook for the upcoming season.

Gausman threw 2.2 innings in a minor league game Thursday, MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles are known to send some of their pitchers to minor league camp from time to time, even when they are healthy. That seems to be the case for Gausman. He allowed two doubles and walked a batter in the game. Gausman should likely pitch exclusively in Grapefruit League games for the rest of the spring as the first cuts in camp come Friday. The club probably wanted to get a look at some younger guys before making the first round of cuts. Gausman actually might vault as high as the No. 3 starter by the end of spring depending on the condition of Chris Tillman and the effectiveness of Miguel Gonzalez.

Gausman threw two innings Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out three.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman faced a group of MLB regulars in the Rays' lineup and did not struggle at all. His fastball sat in the low-90s and topped out at 96 mph. That kind of velocity would actually be a tick below his performance over the last three seasons. The Orioles finally appear to set Gausman loose right out of the gate this spring.

Gausman underwent LASIK surgery three days after the season ended, and will no longer need prescription glasses in 2016, MASN's Roch Kubatko reports.

EDGE Analysis

This probably won't directly improve anything other than the young pitcher's style, but there are reasons to be bullish on him heading into 2016. Much has been made about the Orioles mishandling the talented righty, but that won't be an option next year, as Gausman is basically a lock to be in the rotation all year. He averaged 95.2 mph on his fastball in 2015, and still has the overall repertoire to be at least a No. 3 starter.

Gausman tossed eight innings of one-run ball in a win over the Blue Jays in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader. He allowed five hits and no walks while striking out 10.

EDGE Analysis

Taking full advantage of a Toronto lineup minus every one of its regulars -- the Blue Jays clinched the AL East with a win in Game 1 -- Gausman notched a career-high 10 strikeouts. His previous career high was eight. A solo homer allowed to Darwin Barney in the eighth inning was the lone blemish on Gausman's day. He should have the inside track at a full-time rotation spot next season.

Gausman allowed five runs on five hits, walking three and striking out five over five-plus innings of a 7-0 loss to Boston on Friday night.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman (3-7, 4.49 ERA) was effective for five innings, but ran into trouble in the sixth, departing after putting three men on base without retiring a batter. Those three came around to score and it turned into a disappointing outing for the Orioles' young hurler. He maintains a very high ceiling, but he'll need to be more consistent to take the next step.

Gausman allowed four runs on eight hits with six strikeouts and one walk in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Gausman was not as sharp as his last two starts (one run allowed in 11 innings). It seems Gausman is much more comfortable at home (2.38 ERA) than away (6.00 ERA).

Gausman will make his next start Sunday, Brittany Ghiroli of Orioles.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles added Tyler Wilson to their rotation Thursday, and he'll take the hill Friday in the second game of a four-game set against the division rival Rays. Wei-Yin Chen will start Saturday, and Gausman will be the starter Sunday when the series comes to a close.
