Chris Tillman’s next stop on his deliberate rehabilitation path back from shoulder soreness will be a three-inning start Monday for Double-A Bowie, manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday.
“He’s going to take his work day there [in Sarasota, Fla.],” Showalter said. “His next outing will be in Bowie. … He’s going to pitch Monday in a 6:35 p.m. game, three innings. That’s good news.”
Tillman started an extended spring training game Tuesday, lasting two innings and coming out of it with no discomfort. He never made it this far in his rehab the last time he was coming back in March, as the soreness that kept him off a mound all offseason and into spring training cropped back up and required a cortisone shot.
