Dave Trembley will get at least another month to prove he’s the right man to manage the Baltimore Orioles.

Andy MacPhail, who took over as president of baseball operations last week, said Wednesday that he won’t resume interviewing candidates for the managerial job “until at least the trading deadline,” which is July 31.

Trembley was made the interim manager on June 18 after the Orioles fired Sam Perlozzo. Before the end of the week the manager’s job was offered to Joe Girardi, who turned it down.

“We tried our pre-emptive strike with Girardi. It didn’t work. What I would like to do now is … let’s watch Dave manage for a while,” MacPhail said.

MacPhail wants to get to know the team before he begins looking for a manager. He might even end up sticking with Trembley, a minor league manager for two decades.

Fultz goes on DL

Cleveland placed left-hander Aaron Fultz on the 15-day disabled list with a strained rib muscle.

The Indians recalled right-hander Edward Mujica from Triple-A Buffalo to take Fultz’s spot in the bullpen.

Signed as a free agent in December, the 33-year-old has a 3-1 record and 1.71 ERA in a team-high 32 relief appearances.
