Before Monday's scheduled series opener against the Minnesota Twins, Orioles manager Buck Showalter ran down some of the candidates to fill the team's open rotation spot on Wednesday at Target Field.
No situation was ideal, not with an afternoon game that day limiting the possibility of flying in a pitcher from one of the team's minor league affiliates, and not with Showalter unable to commit to a bullpen arm without knowing how his relievers would be used over the next two nights.
"A lot of it depends on [Monday's] game and [Tuesday]," Showalter said.
