Kremer (1-1) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and a walk over six innings during a 6-1 victory over the White Sox. He struck out four.
Making his first start since April 18 after recovering from a quadriceps strain, Kremer got taken deep by Sam Antonacci on the second pitch he threw but then slammed the door shut on Chicago, retiring the next 11 batters he faced and not letting another runner get past second base. Kremer has delivered quality starts in two of his three trips to the mound this season, and he'll take a 3.18 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 20:3 K:BB over 17 innings into his next outing, which is set to come at home next week against the Cubs.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Rejoining rotation Wednesday
Rotowire
The Orioles activated Kremer (quadriceps) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Kremer will start Wednesday's game against the White Sox after missing more than two months of action due to a right quad strain. The right-hander spun 6.2 scoreless innings and threw 79 pitches in his final rehab outing with Triple-A Norfolk, so his workload Wednesday will likely be slightly limited from a pitch-count perspective. Kremer logged a 4.09 ERA and 16:2 K:BB over 11 innings back in April before getting injured.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Could start Wednesday
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) will throw a bullpen session at Camden Yards on Monday and is under consideration to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday's game versus the White Sox, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Kremer has been shelved since late April with a right quad strain, but he looks to be in line to rejoin the Orioles rotation Wednesday as long as he completes Monday's bullpen session and bounces back with no issues. The righty struck out eight over 6.2 scoreless frames in his last rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, getting his pitch count up to 79. Kremer posted a 4.09 ERA and 16:2 K:BB over 11 innings covering two starts with Baltimore before getting hurt.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Sharp in second rehab start
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) made his second rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, giving up two hits and one walk in 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
The 30-year-old right-hander fired 50 of his 79 pitches for strikes. Kremer, who's recovering from a multi-month absence with a right quadriceps strain, appears firmly on track to rejoin the Orioles at some point in early July, which will likely force Trey Gibson from Baltimore's rotation.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Completes 66-pitch rehab start
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) struck out five and allowed one earned run on two hits and and two walks in 3.2 innings during his rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Norfolk.
Though he was making his first game appearance since landing on the 60-day injured list April 18, Kremer handled a fairly hefty workload right off the bat. He tossed 66 pitches (38 strikes) in the outing, inducing 12 swings and misses along the way. The right-hander may need just one more rehab start to continue building up his pitch count before potentially rejoining the Baltimore rotation in the first week of July.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Gearing up for rehab assignment
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk this week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Kremer threw live batting practice for the second time in a week Tuesday, and he'll now transition into game action with the Triple-A squad. Considering he's been sidelined since late April while recovering from a right quadriceps strain, the right-hander will likely require a few outings with Norfolk to get up to speed before he'd be added to the major-league roster in early July.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Nearing rehab games
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) threw another live batting practice session Thursday at the Orioles' spring training complex and could soon be cleared to begin a rehab assignment, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Kremer threw 35 pitches -- which included two "ups" -- and also went through pitchers' fielding practice drills. The veteran hurler has been shelved since late April with a right quad strain but looks to be tracking toward a return in early July, assuming he continues at his current progression.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Progressing in recovery
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) threw a live bullpen session earlier in the week, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz noted Friday that Kremer has been progressing well in his recovery from a right quadriceps strain that landed the right-hander on the 15-day injured list in late April. He was transferred to the 60-day IL last Friday, and depending on when he embarks on a rehab assignment, Kremer could be back with the big club in mid-to-late June. Prior to his injury, Kremer had a 4.09 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 11 innings.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Moves to 60-day injured list
Rotowire
The Orioles transferred Kremer (quadriceps) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Friday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Kremer, who is on the shelf with a right quadriceps strain, won't be eligible to rejoin the Orioles until late June at the earliest. Brandon Young, who holds a 3.35 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 33:17 K:BB over 43 innings (eight starts), should see several more turns through the rotation.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Starts up throwing program
Rotowire
Orioles manager Craig Albernaz said Monday that Kremer (quadriceps) has begun a throwing program, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
While Albernaz noted that Kremer's strained right quad hasn't fully healed, the right-hander is "trending in the right direction" and has made enough progress in his recovery to at least start playing catch again. Kremer will gradually stretch out his throwing distance off flat ground before graduating to pitching off a mound. A clearer target date for Kremer's return from the 15-day injured list won't be established until he reaches the point in his rehab that he's facing live hitters in simulated games or minor-league starts.
Orioles' Dean Kremer: Expected to miss multiple weeks
Rotowire
Kremer (quadriceps) is expected to miss several weeks, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The Orioles put Kremer on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a right quadriceps strain, and the team is preparing to be without him for more than just the minimum stay. The right-hander could be able to rejoin Baltimore's rotation at some point in the middle of May. Meanwhile, Brandon Young is taking Kremer's place in Baltimore's rotation for the time being.

Orioles' Dean Kremer: Out with quad strain
Rotowire
The Orioles placed Kremer on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to April 20, due to a right quadriceps strain, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
In a corresponding move, the Orioles recalled Brandon Young from Triple-A Norfolk, who will step into Kremer's open rotation spot. Kremer will miss at least a couple turns through the rotation but could be out longer given that the severity of the strain has yet to be disclosed.
Kremer (0-1) took the loss against the Guardians on Saturday, allowing three runs on two hits and two walks while striking out seven across six innings.
It was a mostly strong outing from Kremer, who generated 14 whiffs and tossed 58 strikes on 95 pitches. His lone, yet consequential, blemish came in the fifth inning, when he yielded a three-run homer to Brayan Rocchio, and the Orioles' batters were unable to generate enough offense for Kremer to avoid the loss. The right-hander has looked good in his two starts since being recalled from Triple-A Norfolk last Monday. His next start is tentatively slated for next weekend at home against the rival Red Sox.

Guardians' Brayan Rocchio: Cracks three-run homer
Rotowire
Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run during the Guardians' 4-2 win over the Orioles on Saturday.
Rocchio gave the Guardians a two-run lead in the fifth when he took Dean Kremer deep right field for a three-run long shot. It was the third home run of the season for Rocchio and extended his hitting streak to five games. In that five-game span, he has gone 6-for-16 (.375) with five RBI and four runs scored.
Kremer took a no-decision Monday against the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks in five innings. He struck out nine.
Making his season debut, Kremer worked rather efficiently while tossing 55 of his 80 pitches for strikes Monday. The right-hander was sharp overall, registering 15 swings and misses while fanning at least nine for the fourth time in his career. Kremer is competing with Cade Povich, who was optioned to the minor leagues earlier Monday, for Zach Eflin's (elbow) rotation spot, and Kremer might have earned another start with Baltimore ahead of his next scheduled turn this weekend versus Cleveland.
