Cade Povich Injury: Hits 70-pitch mark in rehab outing

Povich (hip) made a rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, striking out six while allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks in five innings.

Povich made his third rehab appearance since he suffered a setback in his recovery from left hip inflammation in late June, and he was able to push up his pitch count to 70. The Orioles will need to add a sixth starter to the mix during the upcoming week, so Povich could be an option to return from the 15-day injured list to pitch in one half of a doubleheader next Tuesday with the Blue Jays.
