Jeremy Hellickson won’t report to the Orioles until July 31 because on his way to the Philadelphia airport, he was involved in an automobile accident. The right-hander, who was acquired from the Phillies in a July 28 trade is fine, but his girlfriend is in the emergency room.
Manager Buck Showalter said the 30-year-old Hellickson would meet the team in Baltimore after it returns from Texas. He’ll have a bullpen session July 30 at Oriole Park. Until the Orioles get home, Showalter won’t reveal his plans for Hellickson.
"All things are on the table until we find out where he is physically," Showalter said. "I know where he was statistically over there, and where he was last year. I know what he was like when he was with Tampa. We’ll see. Fastball, changeup, added a cutter, curveball, athletic, holds runners."
