50 Miguel Gonzalez, SP

Orioles manager Buck Showalter confirmed after Wednesday's game against the Tigers startring pitcher Miguel Gonzalez, who is away on a paternity leave, will slot back into the rotation Saturday at Toronto. Gonzalez, who has won his last three starts, is 1-0 with a 3.09 ERA in two starts against the Blue Jays this season.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Tuesday that Jason Hammel (illness) and Miguel Gonzalez (paternity leave) will likely start Friday and Saturday, MLB.com reports. The order is not set in stone, but Gonzalez is currently scheduled for Saturday's game at Toronto. 

Hammel has been pushed back due to a stomach illness. He was originally expected to pitch Monday against Detroit and has already been pushed back twice. Gonzalez left the team late Monday night to go on paternity leave. 

Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez left the team Monday in Detroit and traveled to California to be with his wife who is about to give birth to the couple's first child.

Gonzalez will be placed on the paternity leave list but is expected to return for his next start Saturday at Toronto.

Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez, who will almost surely go on the paternity leave list following his outing, pitched well Sunday in a start against the Red Sox.

Gonzalez came undone a bit in his final inning, the seventh, but pitched six shutout frames before that. He gave up a three-run homer to Will Middlebrooks in the seventh to complete his stat line. Gonzalez allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings for the win. He improved to 5-2 with a 3.75 ERA.

Gonzalez has won three straight outings for the Orioles as he's hitting his groove right now. He should return from paternity leave in time to make his next scheduled start Saturday at Toronto.

With his wife about to give birth at any moment, Orioles starter Miguel Gonzalez pitched a wonderful game Tuesday night at home against the Angels. Gonzalez matched a career-high with eight innings in the win.

The starter moved to 4-2 on the season as he allowed only a Mike Trout solo homer in the fourth inning with no outs. He gave up just the one run on four hits and one walk over his eight strong frames, throwing 96 pitches. He struck out five and his ERA is now at 3.71.

Gonzalez has won back-to-back outings as he's finally hitting his stride. He's given up just two runs over his last 14 innings with 12 Ks over that stretch. Gonzalez will leave the team when his wife gives birth, but is expected to be able to return to make his next start Sunday against Boston.
