Cade Povich Suffers Setback on Rehab Assignment
Cade Povich (hip) is dealing with more left-hip soreness and has been pulled off of his minor-league rehab assignment, according to The Baltimore Banner's Andy Kostka. The next step for Povich is to be determined. The setback essentially means that Povich will not be a candidate to rejoin Baltimore's starting rotation before the mid-July All-Star break. The 25-year-old southpaw threw 75 pitches in a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk last Thursday but apparently didn't recover well from that outing and will now be given some time to rest. Rookie right-hander Brandon Young will make another spot start against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday and could stick around in the big leagues up until the All-Star break now that Povich has had a setback. Povich has increased his strikeout rate and lowered his walk rate in his second big-league season but still sports an ERA over 5.00.
