Works four innings Baumann allowed two earned runs on six hits and no walks while striking out two across four innings Thursday against the Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision.
Impact Baumann made his second consecutive turn through the rotation and was limited to 74 pitches as a result. Both of the earned runs against him came in the fourth inning, when he allowed two doubles and a single. Baumann will likely get a final start prior to the close of the regular season, and he's allowed a combined four earned runs with a 4:2 K:BB across his last two starts -- spanning eight innings.

Draws another start Baumann is scheduled to start Thursday's game in Boston.
Impact He'll be getting his second straight turn through the rotation after working four innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits and two walks in a no-decision versus Houston last weekend. The 27-year-old righty owns a 4.32 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB in 25 innings at the big-league level this season.

Allows two runs over four Baumann did not factor into the decision on Saturday, allowing two runs on three hits with two walks over four innings against Houston. He struck out two.
Impact Baumann allowed Mauricio Dubon to reach on a leadoff single to begin the third inning before serving up a two-homer to Jose Altuve on a hanging, four-seam fastball. In the fourth he walked Alex Bregman to put the leadoff man on base for the third inning in a row, but managed to escape the inning thanks in large part to a double play ball. It was only the second time this season that the 27-year-old went four or more innings.

Set to start Saturday Baumann will start Saturday's game against the Astros, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The 27-year-old rejoined the Orioles on Sept. 11 and has made two appearances out of the bullpen, but he'll start Saturday with Tyler Wells (shoulder) on the injured list. Baumann covered two frames in each of those outings and is unlikely to have a full starting workload.

Optioned to Norfolk Baumann was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The move comes as teams around the league are required to drop the number of pitchers on their active rosters to 13. Baumann's latest MLB stint lasted four days. He threw a scoreless innings of relief Sunday against the Rays in his lone appearance, dropping his ERA on the season to 4.50.

Recalled from Triple-A Baumann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.
Impact Baumann made the Orioles' Opening Day bullpen but has spent much of the season in the minors, posting a 4.91 ERA and 8:6 K:BB in 11 innings at the highest level. He's remained a reliever in the minors, where he's struggled to a 7.71 ERA across 16.1 frames. That suggests he could continue to pitch out of the pen going forward even though it's starter Bruce Zimmermann who he'll be replacing on the active roster.

Sent back down Baumann was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.
Impact Baumann was recently recalled by the Orioles, and he allowed a run on three hits and no walks while striking out two in 3.2 relief innings against the Rays on Saturday. He's posted a 4.91 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in 11 innings over six outings with the major-league club this year, but he'll head back to Norfolk after Marcos Diplan was recalled Monday.

Recalled by Orioles Baumann was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.
Impact Baumann was sent down in late April, but he'll rejoin the active roster after posting a 3.72 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 9.2 innings over four relief appearances in Norfolk. He logged a 6.14 ERA in 7.1 innings over five relief appearances in the majors early in the season, so he should pitch mainly in low-leverage situations.

Sent to Triple-A Baumann was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
Impact Baumann has given up five earned runs with a 6:6 K:BB over 7.1 innings and will now head to the minors. Kyle Bradish, who will start in his MLB debut Friday against Boston, was called up from Norfolk in a corresponding move.

Charged with second loss Baumann (1-2) took the loss Sunday versus the Angels. He allowed a run on a hit, a walk and a hit batter with one strikeout in 1.1 innings.
Impact Baumann had no trouble in the sixth inning, but he allowed three of four batters in the seventh to reach. Felix Bautista allowed one of them to score on a bases-loaded walk before escaping the jam, but the Orioles' offense couldn't get Baumann off the hook. He's allowed runs in each of his last three appearances. The 26-year-old has a 6.35 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 6:4 K:BB in 5.2 innings, but he could still be an option to join the rotation after Chris Ellis (shoulder) exited Sunday's game in the first inning.

Takes loss Tuesday Baumann (1-1) took the loss Tuesday versus the Athletics. He allowed two runs on two hits and a walk with two strikeouts in 1.2 innings.
Impact Chris Ellis delivered 4.1 scoreless innings in a spot start, but Baumann wasn't able to follow up with similar results. Baumann ran into trouble in the sixth inning, allowing a two-run double to Seth Brown that put the Athletics ahead for good in the 2-1 game. The right-handed Baumann has allowed three runs, three hits and three walks in 4.1 innings across three relief outings this season. He'll continue to serve as a multi-inning option to pair with the Orioles' starters that haven't built up their pitch counts as much early in the season.
