BALTIMORE -- The Orioles have tried Alec Asher and Jayson Aquino as starters, moved Ubaldo Jimenez in and out of the rotation and have given Dylan Bundy extra rest, but have yet to find a quick fix for the struggling starting rotation. The next option the team may consider is using Richard Bleier as a starter.
Bleier has posted a team-leading 1.38 ERA this season, allowing just five earned runs and two homers in 32 2/3 innings. Of the Orioles' five current starters, Bundy has the best ERA at 4.
