Gausman (ankle) threw a bullpen session Friday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

Gausman threw from flat ground Thursday, and Friday's session marked the first time he worked off a mound since sustaining his ankle injury last weekend. Manager Charlie Montoyo didn't rule the right-hander out for Sunday's start against Seattle.

Senzatela (shoulder) will likely begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

Senzatela had no issues after throwing a bullpen session Thursday and plans to throw another bullpen Saturday. As long as he feels good afterward, he'll likely return to game action with the minor-league club early next week. Manager Bud Black hopes that the right-hander will require just one rehab start, which would put him on track to rejoin the Rockies just before the All-Star break.

Seabold was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees due to right forearm extensor tightness, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

Seabold exited Friday's matchup with two outs in the top of the third inning due to an injury, and he's apparently dealing with a forearm issue. The right-hander will presumably be examined in the coming days to determine the severity of his injury.

Seabold was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees in the top of the third inning due to an apparent hand injury, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

Seabold struggled mightily to begin Friday's matchup, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out two in 2.2 innings. It's possible that his injury contributed to his struggles, and he was removed from the matchup after being visited by the training staff. The nature and severity of Seabold's injury aren't yet known, and it's unclear whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

Stroman (shoulder) will start Saturday's game against the Dodgers, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Stroman spent a month on the injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, but he made a rehab start Sunday at Triple-A Iowa and allowed five runs in 2.2 innings. Since the right-hander is starting Saturday's matchup, Drew Smyly (oblique) will likely start Sunday's series finale.

Lorenzen's shoulder showed no structural damage in an MRI taken Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Lorenzen hit the injured list Thursday with a right shoulder strain, an injury which may partially explain his 13.09 ERA and 2.55 WHIP across his last three starts. Friday's test results indicate that he's avoided a worst-case scenario, but he still has more treatment to get through before he begins a throwing program.

Bradish (shoulder) will make multiple rehab appearances before being activated off the injured list, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

Bradish has been out for just two weeks due to right shoulder inflammation, so he could probably return to the big leagues after just one outing if the Orioles needed him to. Considering that he struggled to a 9.61 ERA and 2.34 WHIP in his final five starts prior to the injury, however, it's not all that surprising that the team wants him to convincingly prove he's healthy and can be effective before he's allowed to return.

Sale (rib) has been officially announced as the starter for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

Sale is finally ready to go after missing the first half of the season with a stress fracture in his rib cage. He was shaky in his final rehab outing, walking five batters in 3.2 innings of work, but the Red Sox nonetheless decided he's ready for his season debut. Expect some workload limitations early on in his return, however, given that he topped out at four innings across his four rehab appearances.

Bassitt (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list ahead of his start versus the Marlins on Friday.

The right-hander was sidelined the past week after testing positive for the virus, and he'll rejoin the rotation without the need for a minor-league rehab assignment. Since surrendering seven runs to the Padres on June 8, Bassitt has a 2.53 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB in 21.1 innings across his past three starts.

Rodriguez underwent an MRI on his strained lat Tuesday which came back clean, Andy Kostka of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Rodriguez was shut down with the injury in early June, and reports at the time suggested that he could be done for the season. His good news this week seemingly ups his odds of returning before the end of the year, though the Orioles didn't offer an official timeline for his recovery.
