Grayson Rodriguez is reportedly on his way home.

Baltimore’s top pitching prospect is being promoted to the Orioles and is expected to make his major league debut Wednesday in his home state of Texas against the Rangers, according to multiple reports.

Rodriguez, a consensus top 10 prospect in baseball, was expected to make the Orioles’ rotation to open the season, but he instead began the year in Triple-A Norfolk after struggling in spring training.

The Orioles have not announced the promotion or a potential corresponding move.

Rodriguez’s call-up follows Monday’s game in which starting pitcher Kyle Bradish suffered a right foot contusion after taking a 104 mph line drive off the foot during his start Monday. Bradish threw one warmup pitch before exiting the game in the second inning.

While Tyler Wells’ five-inning relief outing led the Orioles to a 2-0 win and saved an already-fatigued bullpen, it didn’t change the calculus that the Orioles would need a different starting pitcher for the series against the Rangers now that Wells, originally scheduled to start Tuesday, couldn’t start. Kyle Gibson was pushed up to start Tuesday (on regular rest) instead of Wednesday, and now Rodriguez will get the ball Wednesday. Jacob deGrom, a two-time Cy Young Award winner with the New York Mets who signed a five-year, $185 million deal this offseason, will start for Texas.

Baseball America first reported Rodriguez’s promotion.
