The Orioles will promote Kevin Gausman from Double-A Bowie to make his Major League debut on Thursday against the Blue Jays, according to a source.
Gausman was a first-round pick of Baltimore just last year.
He is 2-4 with a 3.11 ERA in eight starts for Bowie. Sources say the Orioles are comfortable with the move because of Gausman's ability to throw three pitches for strikes.

Aroldis Chapman uncharacteristically blew a save against the Phillies on Sunday.
According to a Spanish-language broadcaster in Philadelphia, Chapman's sweet tooth may have helped to derail him.
Phillies broadcaster Rickie Ricardo told Sports Radio 94 WIP that he delivered 100 Cuban pastries to Chapman this weekend and when he saw the reliever in the clubhouse Sunday morning, Chapman had eaten about 18 of them.
"He couldn't breathe!" Ricardo said. "I looked at my partner, I said, 'He's ripe for the taking today.'"
Chapman gave up back-to-back home runs to Freddy Galvis and Erik Kratz as the Phillies rallied for a stunning 3-2 victory.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it was the first time Chapman has allowed back-to-back homers in his career.
"That has nothing to do with what he did," Dusty Baker said in response to the story. "Look at him -- does he look fat? I don't pay any attention to that. ... Sometimes that locker room is too open for everybody, which makes it too open for alibis and excuses if something happens."
