Orioles' Chayce McDermott: Returns from injury at Triple-A
Rotowire
Triple-A Norfolk reinstated McDermott (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in the first game of a doubleheader with Nashville, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
McDermott will be getting his first game action since he was shut down in late July with a right scapula stress reaction. The 26-year-old is unlikely to be a factor with the Orioles before the end of the season, but finishing the campaign healthy would give the right-hander and the team some peace of mind heading into the offseason.

Orioles' Chayce McDermott: Goes on Triple-A IL
Rotowire
Triple-A Norfolk placed McDermott on the 7-day injured list Tuesday with a right scapula stress reaction, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
McDermott's last appearance for Norfolk came back on July 30, and he struck out 10 while yielding just two runs over six innings. However, the right-hander evidently picked up an injury during or after that outing and now appears likely to miss multiple weeks.

Orioles' Chayce McDermott: Goes four frames in MLB debut
Rotowire
McDermott allowed three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three batters over four innings in a no-decision against Miami on Wednesday.
McDermott was called up Wednesday to make his big-league debut after posting a 3.96 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 91.0 innings in Triple-A. The right-hander got through three scoreless frames against the Marlins but struggled in the fourth, giving up three runs on four hits, including a Josh Bell homer. That proved to be his final frame, as Baltimore brought in a reliever to begin the fifth. Though he didn't pitch particularly well, there's a good chance McDermott will get another turn in the rotation with Baltimore hosting a doubleheader against Toronto in five days.

Orioles' Chayce McDermott: Better control since May
Rotowire
McDermott has a 3.79 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 79 strikeouts in 54.2 innings over his last 10 starts for Triple-A Norfolk.
McDermott walked 23 batters in 21.1 innings over his first six starts of the season, but he's been much more efficient since the calendar turned to May. There are some question marks behind Corbin Burnes and Grayson Rodriguez in Baltimore's rotation, and if more reinforcements are needed from Triple-A at some point this summer, McDermott may finally get his shot.

Orioles' Chayce McDermott: On Triple-A IL
Rotowire
McDermott was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Norfolk on Sept. 16 with a back strain, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.
The International League's championship is next week, so this may mean the end of McDermott's minor-league season. The 25-year-old righty logged a 2.49 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, 31.2 percent strikeout rate and an 11.7 percent walk rate in 50.2 innings across 10 appearances for the Tides after tossing 68.1 innings at Double-A earlier in the year. McDermott hasn't had a walk rate below 11 percent in the upper levels of the minors, which could result in him eventually ending up in the bullpen. However, he's got a solid three-pitch mix in his 94-mph fastball (touches 96 mph), high-spin curveball and low-to-mid-80s slider, so if he can cut the walks slightly, he could get a look in the big-league rotation sometime next year.
