The Orioles are officially keeping right-hander Kevin Gausman in the starting rotation and have demoted right-hander Bud Norris to the bullpen.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter before Saturday's afternoon game against the White Sox said that Gausman will start Tuesday’s game at Minnesota, while Norris will be used as the team’s right-handed long reliever.
Showalter spoke with Norris before Friday’s series opener in Chicago, telling him that he is being sent to the bullpen.
“Bud’s done some good things for us and will again,” Showalter said. “Right now, we have a need for him to pitch out of the bullpen, something that he could really help us with.
