Gausman threw 2.2 innings in a minor league game Thursday, MASN Sports reports.
The Orioles are known to send some of their pitchers to minor league camp from time to time, even when they are healthy. That seems to be the case for Gausman. He allowed two doubles and walked a batter in the game. Gausman should likely pitch exclusively in Grapefruit League games for the rest of the spring as the first cuts in camp come Friday. The club probably wanted to get a look at some younger guys before making the first round of cuts. Gausman actually might vault as high as the No. 3 starter by the end of spring depending on the condition of Chris Tillman and the effectiveness of Miguel Gonzalez.
