Overview
- Cade Povich, who arrived in New York on Thursday, is expected to start Friday’s series opener at Yankee Stadium, according to MLB.com and game listings.
- Heavy reports the Orioles called up Povich and optioned reliever Cameron Foster to Triple-A, while MLB.com noted the team had not announced a move.
- The left-hander would pitch on five days’ rest after a Saturday start for Triple-A Norfolk and has a 2.19 ERA over two MLB outings earlier this month.
- The rotation crunch stems from Zach Eflin’s season-ending Tommy John surgery plus injured list stints for Trevor Rogers and Dean Kremer.
- Baltimore also expects to re-sign right-hander Albert Suárez to a Minor League deal for depth, and the club still needs a starter for Monday after Kyle Bradish and Shane Baz slot in this weekend.
