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 has been diagnosed with focal pneumonia, not an intercostal strain as originally reported. It's good new for the young right-hander who was expected to hit the disabled list with the injury.

Orioles right-handed pitching prospect Kevin Gausman struck out five in 4 2/3 shutout innings on Saturday for Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman allowed three hits and walked one batter in his fifth start of the season. He is clearly limited to no more than 75 pitches per start, as his pitch totals for the season have been 74, 72, 67, 74, and 75. Gausman threw 99 2/3 innings in 2013, so he is unlikely to exceed 140 in 2014, so the Orioles are clearly saving him to bring him back to the major leagues during the summer.

Orioles prospect RHP Kevin Gausman returned to form Sunday, throwing five scoreless innings for Triple-A Norfolk. The 23-year-old right-hander allowed four hits and two walks while striking out four in the outing.
