Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) will come off the 15-day injured list to start against the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday, interim manager Tony Mansolino announced. It'll be the first start since June 16 for Povich, who has missed a month and a half with inflammation in his left hip. The 25-year-old went 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA, a 1.50 WHIP, and 68 strikeouts against 23 walks in 64 2/3 innings before going on the IL. Povich built up to 86 pitches in his most recent rehab start, so he shouldn't face any restrictions against Philadelphia. The Phillies will be a tough draw for Povich, though, as they rank 10th in the majors in runs and own the league's seventh-best wOBA versus southpaws (.322).

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) didn't fare too well in a rehab outing with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday. Making his fourth start since going on the 15-day injured list with hip inflammation on June 16, Povich struck out three and yielded five runs (four earned) on seven hits over 4 2/3 frames. The good news is that Povich threw 86 pitches (54 strikes), which suggests he's close to a return to the majors. He could rejoin Baltimore's rotation soon with Charlie Morton, Zach Eflin, and Tomoyuki Sugano all potentially on the way out before Thursday's trade deadline. Povich, 25, has made 12 starts in 13 appearances for the Orioles this season and logged a 5.15 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP and 68:23 K:BB across 64 2/3 innings.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) will make another minor-league rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday night, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. In his last rehab start with the Tides last Thursday, Povich got up to 70 pitches in his fourth start in the minors, so barring a setback with his hip on Tuesday, he figures to make his next start for the Orioles. While there isn't currently room in the five-man starting rotation at the big-league level, there could be after this Thursday's trade deadline if the O's trade one or both of Zach Eflin and Charlie Morton. The 25-year-old southpaw is in his second big-league season in Baltimore and has been inconsistent, going 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA (4.11 FIP) and 1.50 WHIP while walking 23 and striking out 68 in 64 2/3 innings over 13 outings (12 starts) this year.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich (hip) made a rehab appearance with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, throwing five innings and allowing two hits and one earned run while walking two and striking out six. Povich was placed on the 15-day injured list in mid-June with inflammation in his left hip. Thursday marked his third rehab outing, and he hit the 70-pitch mark, so his next start may come in the big leagues. The 25-year-old lefty threw 64 2/3 innings (12 starts) for Baltimore before getting hurt, recording a 2-5 record with a 5.15 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and 68 strikeouts. Povich has shown the ability to generate swing-and-miss (23.9% strikeout rate), but he allows far too much hard contact (50.8% hard-hit rate allowed). His pathway back to a regular role in Baltimore's rotation will become clearer if the Orioles trade away veteran Charlie Morton at the deadline.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) will make another Triple-A rehab start either Thursday or Friday, according to Jake Rill of MLB.com. Povich looked good in his most recent rehab start on Saturday, as he tossed three innings (62 pitches) of one-run ball with six strikeouts. The 25-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list with hip inflammation since June 16, but he's on track to come off the shelf later this month or in early August. While Povich has racked up 68 strikeouts against 23 walks in 64 2/3 innings with the Orioles this season, he has still stumbled to a 5.15 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich (hip) took the mound for Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday. Last time out, Povich threw three scoreless innings at High-A Aberdeen. On Saturday, Povich allowed one run on three hits while striking out six batters across 3 innings of work. It's unclear if Povich will be cleared to return or require another rehab start after this outing. Honestly, it's uncertain if Povich has a spot in the O's rotation at the moment. The right-hander might be forced to stick in Triple-A until a spot opens up. It's possible that the O's make a few trades at the deadline and Povich joins the rotation after that. For now, Povich isn't someone that needs to be rostered in fantasy formats.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) posted a lights-out performance in a High-A rehab start on Sunday. Povich threw three perfect innings and recorded three strikeouts on 30 pitches (23 strikes). The 25-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since mid-June and recently suffered a setback, making Sunday's excellent outing all the more encouraging. The Orioles expect Povich to return sometime after the All-Star break. Povich has gone 2-5 with a subpar 5.15 ERA across 13 appearances (12 starts) and 64 2/3 innings, though he has logged an impressive 68 strikeouts against 23 walks.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich (hip) was able to play catch without any issues on Saturday. This is good news for the right-hander who has been out since mid-June due to left hip soreness. The Orioles shut down Povich last week after he was hit hard during a rehab outing. A second opinion confirmed the same injury, so Povich isn't dealing with anything new. There remains no timetable for his return to the mound. He'll likely still need to ramp up for a few weeks before returning to the mound. Povich might not be back in the mix until August. He's not worth holding through the injury in fantasy leagues.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander 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.

Baltimore Orioles left-handed pitcher Cade Povich (hip) tossed 75 pitches in his rehab outing on Thursday against Triple-A Gwinnett. In this outing, the lefthander struggled as he logged just 4 1/3 innings of work and allowed seven hits and five runs (three earned). He struck out just three batters and allowed one walk. Povich hit the 15-day IL with left hip inflammation earlier in June. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he could be in the mix to return to Baltimore next week, given that he was already able to take on a sizeable workload in his first rehab outing. Before his injury, the southpaw struggled, posting a high 5.15 ERA and a 1.50 WHIP through 64 2/3 innings of work. Given his inconsistencies in the majors, he is only worth targeting in deep AL-only formats.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) will make his first minor-league rehab start on Thursday with Triple-A Norfolk, according to The Baltimore Sun's Matt Weyrich. It might only take Povich one or two rehab starts before he's activated from the 15-day injured list after initially being sidelined in the middle of June due to inflammation in his left hip. The 25-year-old southpaw has continued to struggle as a starter in the big leagues for the O's in his second year in the majors in 2025, posting a 2-5 record, 5.15 ERA (4.09 FIP) and 1.50 WHIP with 23 walks in 64 2/3 innings, but he has also fanned 68 in his 13 appearances (12 starts). It's possible that Povich will rejoin the starting rotation next week against the Texas Rangers, which would make him an intriguing deep-league streamer given the Rangers' offensive struggles.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich (hip) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment soon, according to interim manager Tony Mansolino. It's good news after Povich landed on the 15-day injured list just a week ago with inflammation in his left hip. If the 25-year-old southpaw doesn't suffer a setback with his hip, he'll have a good shot at returning to the big-league roster when he's eligible on July 1. Povich is in his second major-league season and went 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA (4.09 FIP) and 1.50 WHIP with 68 strikeouts and 23 walks in 64 2/3 innings pitched over 13 outings (12 starts) before his hip injury. The former third-rounder doesn't have overpowering stuff and also struggled in his MLB debut a year ago with a 5.20 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 69:34 K:BB, but he has shown some improvement in his strikeout rate this year.

The Baltimore Orioles announced on Monday that they placed left-hander Cade Povich (hip) on the 15-day injured list with left-hip inflammation and recalled right-hander Colin Selby from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. The move comes after Povich picked up a win over the Los Angeles Angels in Sunday's series finale in which he threw 3 2/3 innings of bulk relief while walking one and striking out four. It's unclear if the 25-year-old southpaw will be able to return to Baltimore's starting rotation when he's eligible, but in the meantime, the O's could go with fellow lefty Trevor Rogers as Povich's replacement. Povich has had an uneven second year in the big leagues in 2025 through his first 13 outings (12 starts), going 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA (4.09 FIP) and 1.50 WHIP with 68 strikeouts and 23 walks in 64 2/3 innings pitched.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich turned in a quality start in his team's 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday. Povich allowed just one run on four hits over 6 2/3 innings of work while striking out five and walking one to earn his first win of the season. He notched eight swinging strikes in the outing to improve his record to 1-2 on the year. Overall, Povich has struggled in 2025, posting a 5.04 ERA, 1.72 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts over 25 innings of work. He will have a tough test against the New York Yankees in his next start, which is scheduled for Tuesday.

Baltimore Orioles left-hander Cade Povich will open the 2025 regular season as the team's No. 5 starter and will start the home opener on March 31 against the division-rival Boston Red Sox, according to general manager Mike Elias. Povich beat out right-hander Albert Suarez for the final spot in the starting rotation by posting a 3.07 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 15 strikeouts and four walks in 14 2/3 Grapefruit League innings. The 24-year-old southpaw gets an opportunity in the rotation to start the year thanks to the injury to right-hander Grayson Rodriguez (elbow), who doesn't have a timetable to make his season debut due to elbow inflammation. As a rookie in 2024, Povich went 3-9 with a 5.20 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 69 K's and 34 walks in 79 2/3 frames over 16 starts. The former third-rounder will probably continue to be a work in progress, but he has room for growth and will be an option in AL-only leagues.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich tossed five hitless innings in Tuesday's 8-2 Grapefruit League victory over the Blue Jays. The lefty walked three batters and struck out six in the outing. It was a much-needed statement performance from the southpaw whose chances to make the rotation to begin the season improved with Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) expected to miss the first month. In all, Povich has allowed five earned runs over a total of 14 2/3 spring innings, allowing four walks and 15 strikeouts. The 6-foot-3 hurler had a bumpy start to his major league career in 2024, posting a 6.58 ERA, 1.73 WHIP, and a 4.5 percent K-BB% over the first 11 starts, but recorded a 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and a 22.4 percent K-BB% over the final five starts. As a former third-round pick and highly rated prospect, Povich is worth a look in deeper and AL-only leagues for fantasy if it's confirmed he'll earn a rotation spot.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher Cade Povich allowed eight hits and five earned runs across 4 2/3 innings of work on Thursday. Povich was cruising through his first four innings, allowing just one run with three hits. However, in the fifth inning, the southpaw stumbled and served up four runs and five hits, including a home run to Toronto outfielder Daulton Varsho. With Grayson Rodriguez (elbow) expected to miss the start of the season, the 24-year-old is competing for the open spot in the rotation. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression during camp, as he has flashed solid upside at times. However, his rough finish to this start could put him on the outside of the 40-man roster. Through 9 2/3 innings in camp, Povich has held a 4.66 ERA with a 1.03 WHIP. He held a 5.20 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP across 79 2/3 innings in the majors last season. If he were to make the starting rotation, he could have value in deeper AL-only formats.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitchers Albert Suarez and Cade Povich are set to compete for the open spot in the rotation with Grayson Rodriguez (triceps) set to be sidelined through Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, Suarez was initially expected to be the next man up, but given Povich's strong performance in spring training, he could surpass him on the depth chart. Last season, Suarez logged 133 2/3 innings in Baltimore and posted a 3.70 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. He tallied 108 strikeouts with a modest 7.6 percent walk rate. Povich made his MLB debut last summer and held an underwhelming 5.20 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP across 79 2/3 innings. However, in spring training, Povich has tossed five shutout frames and allowed just one hit while tallying seven punchouts. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Povich's development as he could move up the depth chart if he continues this excellent play. For now, both pitchers are solid late-round targets in AL-only formats.

Baltimore Orioles starting pitchers Albert Suarez and Cade Povich are viewed as the team's No. 6 and No. 7 starters. While this may keep them out of a job in the starting rotation to open the season, they could still compete for a long relief role during camp. Saurez is out of minor-league options and would likely remain on the Opening Day roster. However, given that Povich is only 24 years old, the team will likely opt to have him begin the season at Triple-A to continue his development. Last season, Suarez made 24 starts (32 games) and held a 3.70 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP. He tallied 108 punchouts. Povich struggled over his first 79 2/3 MLB innings, holding a high 5.20 ERA with a 1.43 WHIP. However, he has begun to flash high upside in spring training, which suggests he will likely be one of the first names called when the major league team needs more pitching depth. As a result, both pitchers should only be targeted in deeper AL-only formats for the time being.

Baltimore Orioles rookie starting pitcher Cade Povich took advantage of a favorable matchup, turning in his best career start in Tuesday's 9-0 win over the White Sox. Povich pitched 7 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and no walks with 10 strikeouts. The 24-year-old has shown some promise throughout his time with the O's this season but owns a 2-7 record with a 5.76 ERA, a 1.60 WHIP, and a 7.13 K/9 rate in 12 starts and 59 1/3 IP. Povich is slated to face the Red Sox on the road in his next start and should have the opportunity to make more starts throughout September, given the injuries the O's have suffered in their rotation. While he may be a name to watch in keeper or dynasty leagues, fantasy managers may want to avoid Povich down the stretch of re-draft leagues due to his inconsistent performance.
