NEW YORK – Clarity came to the Orioles rotation this afternoon only if TBA counts as a parting of the clouds.
Left-hander Bruce Zimmermann made today’s start against the Yankees and exited with four unearned runs in 4 1/3 innings in a sloppy 10-5 loss that completed the sweep. Who follows this weekend might not be revealed until Friday, and perhaps in daily increments.
Spenser Watkins’ next turn plops him into the series opener versus the Red Sox at Camden Yards. Veteran Jordan Lyles would pitch Sunday. But the Orioles could push back Watkins and use someone else Friday night.
The same night that Kyle Bradish is listed as Triple-A Norfolk’s starter in Gwinnett.
It’s important to stay on your toes while tracking who might be handed the ball.
