The Orioles have taken the first step in moving on from Ubaldo Jimenez by moving him to the bullpen. His replacement in rotation has been Alec Asher who has pitched in 13 games so far in 2017 including 4 starts. In his last outing against the Red Sox, Asher went 6.1 innings striking out five and walking while allowing only two runs on a measly three hits. Asher has gone at least six innings in three of his four starts.
Jimenez over the past four seasons has often been given a very long leash.
