Here are seven pitching prospects to watch this season for potential promotions. None of these players have made their MLB debuts, nor are they on the Orioles’ 40-man roster. It’s unlikely that any of these players appear in a game for Baltimore this season, but given the Orioles’ pitching injuries and struggles, nothing can be ruled out:

The Baltimore Orioles have needed more production from their former top prospect for some time now, and he may finally be finding his footing.

The Baltimore Orioles haven’t done enough under general manager Mike Elias to fix their starting pitching. The team could not re-sign Corbin Burnes in the offseason, who inked a new deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

It was the 10th time in López’s career he struck out at least 10. Danny Coulombe, Louie Varland, Cole Sands and Jorge Alcala each pitched a scoreless inning in relief. All told, five Twins pitchers fanned a combined 17 batters, a season-high.

The Twins, who also got 11 strikeouts in five innings from Pablo López, had lost 10 games in a row to the Orioles before busting loose Tuesday.

Pablo Lopez threw five quality innings and Byron Buxton homered and drove in four as the Minnesota Twins posted a 9-1 victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.
