Tillman Comments on Injury

Tuesday, Aug. 23 

Tillman discussed his current malady, per MASN:

Someone is going to win the 2016 American League Cy Young Award. That much we know.

After that, things get messy.

The Junior Circuit is flush with very good starting pitchers, solid starting pitchers and serviceable starting pitchers. But there isn't that guy—the one with consistently dominant results and eye-popping stats across the board.

Notice we said "starting pitcher." Paging Zach Britton.

There weren’t many who thought Dylan Bundy could substantially contribute to the Baltimore Orioles this season. And that list of people included the organization and Bundy himself.

Eventually, something is going to tip the scales in the American League East—the most hotly contested and intriguing division in baseball.

Manny Machado might be that something.

The Baltimore Orioles confirmed Monday they acquired Steve Pearce, sending minor league catcher Jonah Heim to the Tampa Bay Rays to complete the deal. 

Pearce, who had previously spent four years as a member of the Orioles, is batting .309 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI in 60 games.

The Baltimore Orioles are in the thick of a tight American League East race, and they reportedly added pitcher Wade Miley on Sunday to bolster their starting rotation for the stretch run.  

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Chris Tillman accomplished a rare feat over the weekend, becoming just the fifth hurler in franchise history to win 13 of his first 15 decisions to begin a season, per Elias Sports Bureau (via ESPN Stats & Info).
