The Orioles have made a rotation change as Jason Hammel is now scheduled to start Friday at Toronto instead of Bud Norris. Baltimore manager Buck Showalter has not said if Norris is scratched or simply moved back, The Baltimore Sun reports.
Hammel has not started for the Orioles since July due to a right forearm strain. He claims to be healthier now than he's been all year. He appeared in one game since his return and went two innings in relief. Hammel gave up no runs on one walk and one hit with one strikeout to lower his ERA to 5.11 on the season.
Norris, who won't start in the series against Toronto, has gone 4-2 over nine appearances and eight starts since coming over from Houston. He has a 4.67 ERA and struggled his last time out in a loss to the White Sox.
