Logs quality start in no-decision Sugano completed six innings against Toronto on Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

Impact Sugano made an early exit in his previous start after being hit on the foot by a comebacker, and he had another injury scare Saturday when he was struck on the left leg on another comebacker in the first inning. This time around the right-hander was able to remain in the game, and he looked no worse for wear as he fired six strong innings. The only run Sugano allowed came on an Addison Barger solo homer in the fifth frame, and the Japanese hurler finished with his first quality start since Aug. 8. Sugano allowed 15 runs (14 earned) over his previous three starts spanning 12.1 innings coming into Saturday, so this was a much-needed bounce-back outing. He'll carry a 4.39 ERA into his next start, which is slated to be a tough matchup against the Yankees next week.

In clear to start Saturday Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino confirmed that Sugano (foot) will start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in Toronto, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact During his most recent start in this past Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Dodgers, Sugano was forced out in the top of the fourth inning after being struck on the right foot by a comebacker. Fortunately for the Orioles, the right-hander avoided any fractures on his foot and didn't experience extensive swelling either, putting him on track to make his next start this weekend on his usual five days' rest. Since the All-Star break, Sugano has gone 3-3 with a 4.67 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 37:13 K:BB in 44.1 innings over his nine starts.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Expects to make next start Sugano said Tuesday that his right foot didn't swell as much as anticipated and he expects to be ready to make his next scheduled start, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact Sugano had to be lifted from Sunday's start against the Dodgers after being struck on the foot by a comebacker, but it doesn't sound like the injury will cost him any additional time. The right-hander is tentatively schedule to start Sunday's game in Toronto.

X-rays negative Interim manager Tony Mansolino said after Sunday's loss to the Dodgers that Sugano had X-rays on his right foot come back negative, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

Impact The right-hander was forced from Sunday's start after being struck in the foot by a comebacker, but he appears to have avoided a serious injury. His availability for the next turn through the rotation will likely depend on how the foot bounces back over the next few days. Sugano's record fell to 10-8 after giving up four runs on seven hits with one strikeout and no walks across three innings versus Los Angeles.

Exits with foot injury Sugano was removed from Sunday's start against the Dodgers due to right foot discomfort, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

Impact The right-hander surrendered four runs, including three homers, across his first three innings before being struck by a comebacker in the fourth inning, which ended his day. Sugano limped off the field after the incident and should be considered day-to-day as he continues to be evaluated.
