Chris Tillman, one of the Orioles’ top pitching prospects, was pulled from his start tonight at Norfolk after throwing 33 pitches in two innings for the Tides.

Barring any news regarding a possible injury, the outing would be comparable to the number of pitches thrown in a side session.  Could he be the starting pitcher on Tuesday night against Toronto?

Update:  MASN’s Roch Kubatko reports Tillman left the game due to tightness in his groin, ending any chance of him receiving the start on Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

Norfolk’s Jason Berken would appear to be the most likely choice to get the start.

Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?

Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
