Orioles vs. Athletics, April 12, 2023 | PHOTOSThe Baltimore Orioles host the Oakland Athletics at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on April 12, 2023.
Adam Oller - Confirmed to start ThursdayOller will be the starting pitcher Thursday against the Orioles, Matt Kawahara of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
ImpactOller will get the ball for his first start of the 2023 season. The right-hander was a member of the Oakland rotation for 14 starts in 2023 and struggled to a 6.30 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over 74.1 innings of work. Oller likely won't be able to work deep into the contest, and his lack of success at the highest level makes him a poor option for this or any other start he'll make.

ImpactGelof missed less than two weeks to begin the Triple-A season while recovering from a left shoulder strain suffered in spring training. One of the Athletics' top position prospects, Gelof should have a good chance at making his MLB debut later in 2023 if he can keep his strikeouts in check at Triple-A. Following a late-season call-up from Double-A Midland, Gelof bashed five home runs in nine games for Las Vegas, but he struck out in 11 of his 38 plate appearances (28.9 percent).
