Orioles manager Buck Showalter told reporters he may shorten Kevin Gausman up in case he's assigned to the bullpen to start the season, per MASN Sports.
"Might bring Gaus back shorter until everything shakes out," Showalter said. "I want him to be ready to do both things."
Gausman allowed a two-run home run to Victor Martinez in the eighth inning of Thursday's 6-4 loss to Detroit in Grapefruit League play. He allowed two runs on two hits and no walks while striking out two in one inning of work. He has allowed two runs in four innings this spring.
