The Orioles began to cut ties with veteran right-hander Chris Tillman, designating for assignment Friday as the end of his minor-league rehab window expired.
Tillman, who was re-signed as a free agent in the offseason in hopes he would rebuild from a disastrous 2017 season, struggled even more this season, going 1-5 with a 10.46 ERA in seven big league starts before going on the disabled list with a lower back strain.
No compatible source was found for this media.
The Orioles now have 10 days to either trade, release or send Tillman through waivers.
