Less than a day after he was summoned from Triple-A Norfolk in a move that required the Orioles to designate Delmon Young for assignment, right-hander Tyler Wilson was optioned back to the Tides.
The move was necessary so Kevin Gausman, who is starting Thursday's series finale against the Texas Rangers. Gausman last started for the Orioles on June 20, when he allowed two runs on four hits in five innings in a no-decision against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Gausman is facing a Rangers lineup that is batting .260/.327/.418 against right-handers, and they’ll likely stack left-handed batters in the lineup against Gausman on Thursday.
