The 11th-hour patchwork required to decide the Orioles’ starting rotation on a day-to-day basis continued Wednesday as the team announced that rookie right-handers Yefry Ramírez and David Hess will start the first two games, respectively, of this weekend’s series at Yankee Stadium.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said there’s still no clear timetable for the return of veteran pitchers Alex Cobb (cut on his right middle finger) and Andrew Cashner (left knee bursitis), but neither will pitch against the Yankees.
