T.J. McFarland picked up his first win, allowing two runs over five innings as the Orioles defeated the Rangers on Tuesday. |

T.J. McFarland is likely to start Tuesday against the Rangers if he isn't needed in relief on Monday. |

Sat Oct 5 2013 | 12:04 | T.J. McFarland to pitch in winter ball |
T.J. McFarland will pitch in winter ball in Venezuela this offseason, with an eye towards earning a spot in the Orioles starting rotation in 2014. |
The 24-year-old southpaw was a Rule 5 pick from the Indians, and spent the entire season with the O's, working primarily out of the bullpen. He held his own, posting a 4-1 record, 4.22 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 58/28 K/BB ratio over 74 2/3 innings. Even if he does manage to crack the rotation, his lack of strikeouts severely limits any fantasy value that he may have. |

Tue May 21 2013 | 18:21 | McFarland, Arrieta options for Thursday |
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said either T.J. McFarland or Jake Arrieta will start on Thursday in Toronto. |
The O's decided to send down Jair Jurrjens in order to activate Miguel Gonzalez, so they'll need a fifth starter until Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) is ready. Arrieta is more stretched out since he's been used as a starter this season, but Showalter thinks McFarland would be able to throw 75-90 pitches. Neither pitcher would be worth streaming against the Blue Jays. |
