Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman will make his spring training debut Tuesday in a road game against the Toronto Blue Jays, a decision made necessary by his need for innings after a hip strain but contrary to manager Buck Showalter¿s previous desire to keep his starters away from division opponents.

It has not been a happy couple of days for Jimmy Paredes, whose attempt to show the Orioles that he can be a viable option in the outfield took a major hit when he rolled over his left wrist trying to make a play in Thursday's exhibition loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.

Intrasquad game lineups can be unconventional, and the ones for this afternoon's game at Ed Smith Stadium fits that description.

Orioles right-hander Dylan Bundy hasn¿t worn No. 49 long enough to be attached to the jersey number, so when the team added right-hander Yovani Gallardo ¿ who has worn No. 49 over his entire major league career ¿ he easily gave it up.

They might not excite fans, but minor league signings are key to success.

Jason Garcia's rehab assignment expired. The club didn't want to lose the Rule 5 pick's power arm.

Miguel Gonzalez goes to the disabled list with a strained right groin. Mike Wright is back with Orioles.

Since then, neither Orioles starter has lasted more than five innings, placing an added load on the relievers. That's not necessarily a recipe for winnings, but despite being one man short, the Orioles bullpen has allowed just one hit over 8 2/3 innings the past two nights in a pair of wins over the Boston Red Sox.

Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez's right groin strain will force him to miss his next scheduled start on Sunday and is likely to land him on the 15-day disabled list.

Miguel Gonzalez injured his right groin while pitching in the fifth inning. He hopes it is a minor setback.

As the Orioles open their three-game series tonight against the Red Sox, all eyes will be on former O¿s pitching prospect Eduardo Rodriguez, who will make his third career big-league start tonight against his old team.

The return of outfielder Nolan Reimold, whose contract is expected to be purchased by the Orioles this week as they face the Boston Red Sox, is interesting in many ways.

It's a fairly representative lineup for Friday's Orioles game against the Rays

Orioles prospect Tyler Wilson is on the cusp of the big leagues, but can't let that influence how he approaches his starts.

Right-hander Logan Verrett, 24, will be in major league camp with the Orioles as one of two Rule 5 picks trying to make the 25-man roster.
