Orioles' Darren O'Day: Half mound on tap Thursday

O'Day (hamstring) is scheduled to throw off a half mound Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

Analysis:

O'Day is expected to require multiple rehab outings before rejoining the Orioles, but his next step in the process would likely involve a graduation to a full mound before eventually heading to the minors on a rehab assignment. Assuming he's effective upon rejoining Baltimore, he should retake the role of setup man to Zach Britton.
