Kevin Gausman will return to the starting rotation at Triple-A Norfolk on Monday. Gausman was scratched from his previous turn due to forearm soreness. The O's were just being extra cautious.

Kevin Gausman will have his next start with Triple-A Norfolk skipped. Gausman is dealing with some soreness in his forearm, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that it's not a major concern, as it provides an opportunity to keep his innings count down. The 22-year-old has a 3.63 ERA and 18/8 K/BB ratio in 22 1/3 innings since being optioned to the minors last month.

Orioles optioned RHP Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk. The Orioles kept Gausman around as a reliever for a while, but they'll now let him rejoin Norfolk's rotation. He's posted a 6.21 ERA and 1.47 WHIP at the big league level this season but still has a bright future.

The Orioles plan to keep Kevin Gausman in their bullpen for now. Gausman could be sent down next week when Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) returns from the disabled list. "We got 70-some games left," manager Buck Showalter said. "We are going to have to do some things between now and the All-Star break. He and Zach [Britton], they both have options, we like them both on the club. I think these things kind of solve themselves. It's going to be about the need of the club. And the need of the club may be for [Gausman] to be starting at [Triple-A] Norfolk. We'll see."

Kevin Gausman tossed 4 1/3 scoreless innings of relief Friday against the Yankees for his first major league win. Orioles manager went with T.J. McFarland over Gausman for the start since the Yankees are so weak from the right side, but the southpaw didn't make it out of the third inning. Fortunately, Gausman was very effective in relief, giving up just three hits and no walks while striking out four. The promising right-hander figures to get another shot in the rotation before long.

Kevin Gausman is expected to start Friday against the Yankees in Baltimore. The Orioles have yet to make an official announcement, but Gausman is the most logical candidate for the assignment. The 22-year-old has an ugly 7.66 ERA over his first five starts in the majors, but he should be worth using in AL-only leagues against the slumping New York lineup.

Orioles recalled RHP Kevin Gausman from Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman will pitch out of the Orioles' bullpen initially but could join the starting rotation at some point soon. The 22-year-old righty has a 7.66 ERA and 1.62 WHIP over his first 24 2/3 major league innings and can be ignored in most standard fantasy leagues for now.

Orioles optioned RHP Kevin Gausman to Triple-A Norfolk. Gausman gets the boot despite a pretty good performance against the Red Sox in which he allowed two runs (coming on back-to-back solo homers) and struck out five in 5 1/3 innings. Overall, though, he did have a 7.66 ERA, and the Orioles need a fresh arm after playing 13 innings tonight. The Orioles will probably bring up a spot starter to pitch next Tuesday, and they should have Wei-Yin Chen back not long after that.

Kevin Gausman was shelled for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings Saturday as the Orioles fell to the Rays. Gausman showed great promise in his last outing, tossing six innings of one-run ball against the dangerous Tigers offense. But it all fell apart for him on Saturday at Tropicana Field. The Rays tagged the young right-hander for eight hits and racked up three walks. Gausman will try to bounce back next time out against the Royals. The talent is there, but the execution is probably going to remain inconsistent.

Kevin Gausman had the best start of his young career Sunday, tossing six innings of one-run ball in a 4-2 victory over the Tigers. Gausman failed to pick up his first big league win, as the Orioles' offense rallied after he had already left the game, but it hardly diminishes his effort. He gave up only five hits, didn't issue a walk and struck out five. The young righty will try to keep the momentum going next weekend in Tampa.
