[外電] Ubaldo likely to return O's rotation

[snake17 (vote orange)]

WASHINGTON -- Ubaldo Jimenez feels good after making his second rehab start and
expects to return to the Orioles later this week.

U-ball 在投完他的第二場復健賽後感覺很不錯,可能本週回到先發輪值。

The starting pitcher, who has been on the disabled list since July 13 with a
right ankle injury, threw 94 pitches for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday and allowed
one run on five hits and two walks with three strikeouts.

U-ball週日在3A的復健賽中投6局用了94球,被打5支安打,送出3K及2BB,丟掉一分。

"He got his work in, got his pitch count up," O's manager Buck Showalter said.
"Not a lot better [than last time], just better, which you expected."

Jimenez will travel with the O's to Toronto for their three-game series with
the Blue Jays that begins on Tuesday and could be activated any time after
Thursday.

U-ball會跟著金鳥至多倫多作客,並可能於美國時間週四後出DL。

The Orioles haven't officially announced any starters past Thursday.
Chris Tillman would be slotted for Friday if Baltimore stays on schedule with
its current five-man rotation. Jimenez could pitch on Friday on regular rest
as well, although he could get some extra rest ahead of his first Major League
start in more than month.

金鳥至今尚未宣布週四以後的先發投手,若照目前的5人輪值,Tillman將於週五先發,
U-ball依正常休息天數也可在週五先發,也可能會讓他多休幾天。

"[We'll] see how he feels tomorrow with it, take his work day when he needs
to and we'll see how it slots out after Thursday," Showalter said.

Neither Showalter nor Jimenez envisions a scenario with Jimenez in the bullpen,
but the O's starters have been excellent in Jimenez's absence. Since June 10,
Orioles starting pitchers rank sixth in the Majors with a 3.13 ERA.

修總沒想過要讓U-ball待在牛棚,U-ball似乎也沒準備從牛棚出發,
但金鳥的先發群自從U-ball缺席後繳出了非常優質的era 3.13的成績

Jimenez, who signed a four-year contract for $50 million this offseason,
is 3-8 with a 4.52 ERA and leads the American League with 60 walks this season.
Last season, Jimenez posted 1.82 ERA in the second half after struggling to
a 4.56 mark before the All-Star break.

U-ball今年與金鳥簽下了4年5000萬美的大型合約,本季一度是保送王,
只繳出3勝8敗 era 4.52不符身價的成績,去年,U-ball下半季才起飛,
去年下半季era僅1.82與上半季的4.56有不小的落差。

"I wouldn't call it a problem to have a good situation," Showalter said of
his apparent pitching surplus.

對於目前先發投手過多狀況,修總則認為這算是甜蜜的負擔。



其實...我對這件事反而開始擔心了起來...Gausman不會再降下去,
也該讓未來的金鳥王牌好好發揮了,今天又是一場QS,
要說U-ball今年的RS太低造成他成績不理想也不是太客觀,
至少我是認為他常常BB彈連發,一開局就讓球隊落後,讓隊友打擊有壓力,
養傷期間還能盤踞保送王一陣子也真的不簡單,唉～
只能期望他今年下半季表現得跟去年下半季一樣殺了！

其他金鳥迷有什麼看法呢？
