The Orioles placed right-hander Tyler Wilson on Triple-A Norfolk's disabled list with a strained left oblique. The move is retroactive to Monday.

Wilson suffered the injury while long-tossing on Sunday before heading to the bullpen to warm up for his start. Wilson was scratched and Dana Eveland took his place.

An MRI revealed a "mild strain," according to an Orioles official.

Wilson said he's hoping for a speedy recovery and he feels a little better every day. He's 5-5 with a 3.05 ERA in 16 starts with Norfolk and 2-1 with a 2.19 ERA in six games (two starts) with the Orioles.

The Tides activated right-hander Matt Buschmann, who was acquired from the Reds this week for cash considerations. He's scheduled to start Thursday in Durham.

Meanwhile, the Orioles are being no-hit through five innings by Mariners' right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma. Manny Machado and Chris Davis walked in the fourth, but Jimmy Paredes struck out on a slider in the dirt.

Kevin Gausman has allowed three runs and thrown 79 pitches in four innings. His eight strikeouts are a career high.

The pitch count is an issue for a team with a thin bullpen.
