Cade Povich Injury: Throws 62 pitches in rehab start

Povich (hip) struck out six while allowing one earned run on three hits and one walk over 3.1 innings in a rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Norfolk.

After firing three perfect innings in his previous rehab outing for High-A Aberdeen last Sunday, Povich was fairly sharp in his 62-pitch appearance for Norfolk. The left-hander is tracking toward a return from the injured list in late July or early August, although it's unclear if Baltimore will have a spot in its rotation available for him once he's activated. Trevor Rogers, who was recalled from the minor leagues to replace Povich when he got injured, has delivered a sparkling 1.53 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 32:10 K:BB over six starts with Baltimore and appears to have established himself as a fixture in the rotation moving forward.
