Orioles recalled RHP Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman will start on Sunday against the Red Sox. He's not guaranteed another start after that, so the righty might have to pitch well in order to remain in the rotation. Gausman holds a 3.86 ERA and 17/11 K/BB ratio over 28 innings this season.

Kevin Gausman will be recalled to start on Sunday against the Red Sox. It was the assumption, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter made it official Friday. Gausman has been up-and-down during his five starts with the big club this season, posting a 3.86 ERA and 17/11 K/BB ratio over 28 innings. It's not an ideal matchup, but Gausman is worth a shot in deeper formats.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday that Kevin Gausman could be recalled to start on Sunday. Gausman will make an abbreviated start on Wednesday for Short-Season Aberdeen so that he'll be available to start Sunday in Boston. If the O's don't recall Gausman, T.J. McFarland will get another start. "We thought it was more important that he pitch on his fifth day this time and more important that he got a good workday, which he got yesterday," Showalter said. "Off today and then start tomorrow, and then kind of shorten that up and make him available for Sunday."

Orioles optioned RHP Kevin Gausman to Short-Season Aberdeen. Gausman made a start in Friday's doubleheader, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks over five frames. He's expected to rejoin the rotation later this week, so fantasy owners should hang on to the talented right-hander.

Kevin Gausman wasn't sharp Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and four walks over five frames in a loss to the Rays. Gausman also hit a batter, threw a wild pitch and struck out just one. The right-hander was terrific in his previous three outings, but today's showing was a reminder that he's not a finished product yet. He's expected to start next week against the Rangers.

Orioles recalled RHP Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman will start the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Rays. With Bud Norris (groin) out for at least the next couple weeks, Gausman will get at least one additional start, and with the way he's pitched lately could remain in the rotation indefinitely.

Kevin Gausman allowed two earned runs on three hits in an inning of work Monday at Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman gave up a single to Robert Andino, a two-run homer to Chris Dickerson, and then a two-out single to Brent Morel before closing out the frame. The 23-year-old right-hander was merely getting some work in as a between-starts tuneup for his scheduled major league outing Friday against the Rays. He remains a strong fantasy option for that start -- which is part of a doubleheader with Tampa Bay.

Kevin Gausman is scheduled to pitch one inning Monday night at Triple-A Norfolk. It will function like a between-starts bullpen session to keep Gausman on track for his next major league start in Friday's doubleheader against the Rays. The talented 23-year-old owns a 2.74 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 23 innings (four outings) this season for the Orioles. He should have a permanent spot in the Baltimore rotation soon.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter confirmed that Kevin Gausman will be called back up from the minors to start in a doubleheader against the Rays next Friday. Gausman was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk after Friday's game, but it was strictly a procedural move. The Orioles can bring him back as the 26th man for next Friday's doubleheader.

Orioles optioned RHP Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk. It's a little surprising to see Gausman be sent down given how he has pitched recently, but the Orioles would like to add another reliever. On the bright side, the 23-year-old could return to pitch in next Friday's doubleheader against the Rays. We're guessing they plan to do exactly that.
