Kremer (forearm) played catch Tuesday but is unlikely to make his next scheduled start, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

Kremer had to be removed from his last outing Saturday in Colorado after being struck on the right forearm by a liner. The swelling has subsided enough to allow Kremer to throw, but it sounds like he will not be ready for his next turn Friday against the Rays. The Orioles have an off day Thursday, so they could push everyone up a day. Giving a spot start to Cole Irvin or another pitcher is also an option.
