BALTIMORE-- Kevin Gausman's intercostal injury is improving and Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Saturday that if the right-hander feels good on Sunday, he will get the start in Toronto on Tuesday.
Gausman, who's come on strong late in the season to be one of the team's most consistent starters, has a 2.16 ERA over his last five starts and is 8-11 with a 3.57 ERA this season.
But he felt something in that intercostal area, and Gausman said the treatment he's been getting has helped.
"I think it was more of a kind of a cramp, just a little bit of a tweak, but [I] feel fine a couple days later," Gausman said before Saturday's game against the D-backs.
