ANALYSISMorton was demoted to the bullpen last week after getting roughed up over his first five starts and two bulk-relief appearances of the season, but the Orioles never called up a pitcher from the minors to replace him in the rotation. With the Orioles needing to add a fifth starter back to the mix Wednesday, Morton will get the nod, but he's expected to shift back to a relief role immediately after the game.
Zach Eflin (lat) appears on track to return from the injured list by the time the Orioles would next require a fifth starter May 17.
