Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman had another shaky beginning to a rehabilitation outing Monday for Low-A Delmarva, manager Buck Showalter said, putting the onus on the veteran pitcher to start improving his results before the team considers activating him from the disabled list as he works back from a back strain.
"Chris was in today," Showalter said. "Last 2 1/3 innings were pretty good. The first one took him a while to get going. It's going to be interesting to see how he does in his next outing with [Triple-A] Norfolk. I'm hoping he takes a leap there into a little more consistent, productive outing.
