Orioles recalled RHP Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman will take the hill to start for the Orioles on Saturday against the Athletics. He has posted a 2.98 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 44/18 K/BB ratio over 42 1/3 innings at Norfolk this season. He's likely to remain in the rotation for the duration of Miguel Gonzalez's stay on the disabled list.

Kevin Gausman will start on Saturday against the Athletics. He's taking the rotation spot of Miguel Gonzalez (oblique). It's not an easy assignment, as Gausman made a spot start against the Tigers last month and now has to go up against the A's. He should get a couple starts before Gonzalez rejoins the rotation later this month.

Kevin Gausman was pulled from his start at Triple-A Norfolk Wednesday, after throwing 26 pitches in one inning. Gausman was the number four overall draft pick in 2012. Miguel Gonzales (side) has been scratched from his start Thursday. This could mean Gausman could be brought up to take his spot.

Orioles optioned RHP Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman was lit up for five runs in four innings in his 2014 regular-season debut Wednesday against the Tigers. The 23-year-old righty should get another shot soon, and will likely be a full-time member of the Orioles' starting rotation around the All-Star break.

Kevin Gausman's season debut Wednesday didn't go well, as the youngster was lit up for five runs on six hits and two walks over four innings in a loss to the Tigers. Gausman's stuff was there, as he was sitting mostly in the mid-90s and touching 95 mph. His command was not there, however, and he needed 87 pitches to cover the four frames. The Orioles didn't put Gausman in a great spot, having him pitch on short rest against the Tigers in his major league debut, but there's no doubt that this goes down as a missed opportunity. If Gausman gets another start, it will come next week in Pittsburgh.

Orioles recalled RHP Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman will make his first big league start of the season on Wednesday against the Tigers. It's a tough assignment, especially when you consider that he's going on short rest. However, it's possible that he'll remain in the rotation if he pitches well, and his upside is worth gambling on in fantasy leagues.

The Orioles will call up Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk to start Wednesday against the Tigers. It's a surprising choice, especially considering that Gausman just made his return from pneumonia on Saturday, striking out six batters over 4 2/3 scoreless innings. It's unclear whether this will just be a spot start, but it's obviously a situation worth monitoring in fantasy leagues. Gausman could make a big impact if the O's let him stick around in the rotation.

Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Kevin Gausman allowed two hits and three walks while striking out six across 4 2/3 shutout innings for Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday. Gausman looked like his old self on Saturday, and did not go deeper in the game due to a pitch count. The Orioles are keeping his pitch counts low so they can use him in the majors down the stretch.

Kevin Gausman (pneumonia) has been cleared to return to Triple-A Norfolk's rotation on Saturday. Gausman sat out a week with focal pneumonia. The talented young right-hander owns a 2.53 ERA in 21 1/3 innings this year at Norfolk and should join the Orioles' starting rotation at some point before the All-Star break.

Kevin Gausman (pneumonia) threw a bullpen session Monday. Gausman was placed on the disabled list last week due to focal pneumonia, but he's already feeling much better. Look for him to return to action soon.
