Gausman (shoulder) will make a rehab start at Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Eddie Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman was initially slated to throw Saturday, but he'll instead take the hill Sunday as he continues to work back from a shoulder injury. Barring a setback Sunday, the plan is for Gausman to make a start at High-A Frederick on Friday.

Gausman (shoulder) will make a second rehab start for High-A Frederick on Thursday, April 14, Rich Dubroff of ComcastSportsNet reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman is making a rehab start this Saturday at Double-A Bowie but the Orioles decided one more tune up would be ideal to prepare him for his return to the majors. By giving Gausman another start in the minors next week, it gives the the 25-year-old a chance to regain his command and build his confidence against lower competition. After showing signs of improvement last year by posting a 8.25 K/9 and 1.23 WHIP over 112.3 innings, the prospect is there that 2016 could be a breakout year for the young righty.

Gausman (shoulder) will pitch Saturday with Double-A Bowie, Steve Melewski of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman threw a side session Tuesday, and apparently it went off without a hitch as he'll now advance to live game action. The club will likely want him to make another rehab start in addition to Saturday's, but he remains on track to rejoin the big league team in mid-April.

Gausman (shoulder) is on track to join the Orioles on April 19, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman will throw a side session Tuesday, and if all goes well, he will advance to game situations. The Orioles want Gausman to make both a three-inning appearance and five-inning appearance before he rejoins the big league club, but barring any setbacks he should be back with the Orioles in mid-April.

Gausman (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's DL will be eligible to return from the DL as soon as April 10, but it's unclear if he'll be ready to appear in games by that point, as his right shoulder tendinitis still remains an issue. He's since resumed throwing, however, so there's a good chance he'll be back at some point in April.

Gausman (shoulder) is hopeful that he'll be able to return in mid-April, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's DL stint is backdated to March 25, so he'll be eligible to return as early as April 10. It sounds as though it's possible he'll require a bit more time than that, as the 25-year-old indicated he'd need between two or three weeks after the start of the season, but it appears as though he'll be able to return some time during the season's opening month.

Gausman (shoulder) will open the season on the disabled list but could still pitch as early as April 10, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gausman's DL stint will be backdated to March 25, enabling him to return earlier in the season than simply 15 days after Opening Day. It will also likely prevent the team from having to add another starter in his place, as the expectation is that he'll only miss a turn or two before joining the rotation.

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.
