RHP Jeremy Hellickson will make his 10th start of the season and his sixth on the road where he is 1-2 with a 6.46 ERA when he pitches in the finale of a three-game series with the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre on Wednesday. In eight career starts against Toronto he is 3-2 with a 3.19 ERA and is 2-1, 3.70 ERA, in four career starts at Rogers Centre.

RHP Burch Smith, who faces the Cardinals for the first time on Wednesday, did not factor in the decision in his start Friday against the Nationals. Smith gave up five runs while striking out eight and walking one in 5 1/3 innings. He allowed three home runs. C John Baker got the start for the second consecutive game. Baker and Nick Hundley have both struggled offensively. Baker, who is hitting .150 and has fanned 12 times in 40 at-bats, went 0-for-3 with a strikeout in Tuesday's loss. Hundley is hitting .235 but is just 1-for-36 in his past 12 games.

LHP Tsuyoshi Wada (ligament transplant surgery, left elbow) pitched four innings in a rehab start with Class AAA Norfolk Tuesday as he works to return from elbow surgery. RHP Kevin Gausman is apparently going to be making his major league debut Thursday in Toronto. Several media outlets are saying that the Orioles' top pick last year, now pitching with Double-A Bowie in the Eastern League, is coming to the big leagues for the first time.

OF Jordan Brown hit a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. It was his first big-league RBI since Sept. 1, 2010. 1B Joe Mahoney began a rehab assignment with Class A Jupiter on Tuesday, going 0-for-3. He has been on the disabled list since April 28 due to a strained right hamstring. RHP Nathan Eovaldi is expected to throw a bullpen session Saturday. He is recovering from a shoulder injury and could return by mid-June.
