Chris Tillman has started the past three Opening Days for the Orioles, but he won't be starting a fourth.
Manager Buck Showalter revealed Feb. 14 that Tillman received a PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) injection on his right shoulder in mid-December, and his spring schedule is being slowed.
Showalter said the 28-year-old right-hander may not have to start the season on the disabled list, but he won't be ready for the opener April 3.
The Orioles have devised a schedule where Tillman won't begin to throw in drills until March 3, pitch in a simulated game until March 14 and pitch in a Grapefruit League game until March 17.
