Orioles Place Chris Tillman On Disabled List

By Steve Adams | August 24, 2016 at 2:25pm CDT

TODAY: Baltimore announced the move, sending Tillman to the shelf and adding righty Mike Wright to take his place on the active roster. Tillman is said to be dealing with bursitis in his shoulder.

YESTERDAY: The Orioles will likely place top starter Chris Tillman on the disabled list due to discomfort in his right shoulder, manager Buck Showalter revealed to reporters following tonight’s win over the Nationals (Twitter link via Rich Dubroff of CSN Mid Atlantic). Earlier this afternoon, MASNsports.com’s Roch Kubatko wrote that Showalter gave an ominous message regarding Tillman, stating that the right-hander “did not have a good work day today” following a bullpen session that “did not go well.” The O’s are hopeful that because they’re able to backdate the DL trip to three days ago, Tillman will be able to be activated as soon as he is eligible, tweets Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun.

The loss of Tillman is a huge blow to an Orioles staff that already had a thin rotation. In 26 starts this year, Tillman has 3.76 ERA and tallied 153 innings of work. Tillman and fellow righty Kevin Gausman are the only qualified starters with an ERA south of 4.00 on the team (Gausman’s strong outing tonight just pushed him underneath that mark). Remaining starters Ubaldo Jimenez, Yovani Gallardo, Wade Miley, Mike Wright, Tyler Wilson, Vance Worley and Dylan Bundy have combined to log a 5.70 ERA on the season. Bundy has actually pitched quite well since moving into the rotation, but innings concerns make it difficult to pencil him in for regular starts down the stretch after he was scarcely able to pitch due to injury in 2014-15.

      Definitely a doable pitcher. For the O’s sake, I hope it works out. (Though I’m rooting for Seattle Mariners.)

    Maybe Pedro Alvarez could make himself useful and worthy of his paycheck by learning to pitch?

      He is making 5.75 mill and has 19 homers and an .842 ops. Honestly he probably doesn’t even crack the top 5 on the team of guys needing to be “worthy of his paycheck”

      So a guy making 5.75 million who has 19 homers and an .842 ops needs to be “worthy of his paycheck”? As a part time player mind you. Honestly he probably doesn’t even crack the top 5 on the team in that regard.

    Is there a team in MLB with worse luck with Starting Pitchers? Their high risk high reward gambles such as Ubaldo Jiminez, Yovani Gallardo and Wade Miley are not so high reward.

      Gallardo and Miley were never high reward. Both were trash heap pickups that are terribly overpaid. Jiminez on the other hand just blew up in their faces

    I just do not understand why the Baltimore Orioles never ever invest in pitching. They sign Jiminez and it’s unfortunate how that went. But then they got so desperate that they signed Gallardo and traded for Miley?

    Just please stop. Please go get Rich Hill this offseason and make a trade for another pitcher. You have plenty of hitting.

      Really? Rich Hill? A 36 year old, one year wonder is your answer to the disaster that has been Jiminez, Gallardo and Miley? Is that you, Dan?

      Please! Peter, get off of this forum this isn’t for owners! Rich Hill would be a horrible investment! He’s injury prone at best.

    Rich Hill???!!! I agree that is the last guy Baltimore should have on their staff. Honesty he does not have a long history being a top successful pitcher. Sure the last year and a half has been great but a team should be depending on him.
