Orioles right-hander Miguel Gonzalez will miss his next scheduled start on Sunday and is likely to land on the 15-day disabled list with a right groin strain.
Manager Buck Showalter said Gonzalez was still sore a day after leaving Tuesday’s game with one out in the fifth inning. Gonzalez suffered the injury on his last pitch of the fourth inning and was pulled after facing one batter in the fifth.
Gonzalez said the next 24 hours would be important in knowing whether he’d have to go on the disabled list.
Showalter said that right-hander Mike Wright and right-hander Tyler Wilson are the top candidates fill the open start on Sunday, however Wright can only join fill that hole as part of a DL move because he wouldn’t have fulfilled the mandatory 10-day minor league option window until Monday.
