Orioles notes: More rotation questions leave Showalter pondering piggyback role

The Orioles will likely need to fill another starting pitching hole for Monday’s series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays after right-hander Andrew Cashner, who left his most recent start with a sore left knee, was unable to take a between-starts work day Saturday, putting his scheduled start for Monday in jeopardy.

The club already is without right-hander Alex Cobb, who will miss his next start — rookie David Hess will replace him Sunday in the Orioles’ series finale against the Chicago White Sox — and likely won’t return to the rotation until Friday at the earliest.
