Gausman (shoulder) may not be ready for Opening Day, MASN Sports reports.
Gausman had a cortisone injection Sunday and he should attempt to throw in the next day or so. The next step will be determined after that. Due to the way the schedule falls, the Orioles may not need a fifth starter until April 10. At minimum, Gausman will probably find himself on an extremely strict pitch-limit. He threw 28 pitches in his last spring start on March 16. Even if he is healthy as the season begins, he will not be able to go deep into games.
