Akin won't start Thursday's game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
The southpaw was initially listed as the starter for Thursday's matchup, but the Orioles now plan to use Dillon Tate as an opener. As long as Akin isn't hurt, he could presumably be available to serve as the primary pitcher against Toronto. Across his last four appearances, the 26-year-old has posted a 12.18 ERA and 2.18 WHIP in 17 innings.
