Brian Roberts status for 6/07

[CHESSTHUG]

Long time lurker, but had to sign up to ask, anyone know B Roberts' status for tonights game?? Thanks.

I know this isn't much help, but it's the best I could find. I'm hoping they decide to play him tonight.

STATS Inc.
Roberts took swings in an indoor batting cage and did some throwing on Monday. Orioles manager Lee Mazzilli was encouraged by Roberts' workout, saying he expects the second baseman to return to action on Tuesday or Wednesday. Whenever he returns, he will have a 20-game hitting streak on the line.

Given the more than adequate play of Chris Gomez at 2nd Base and the fact that the O's are playing the next 5 games in NL parks (no DH), I really don't think they'll rush him. Good for Roberts probably and good for Baltimore, but not good for us.

I'm starting Iguchi until I hear something definitive.

He ain't starting tonight.

Thanks for the responses, I have him benched for tonight as well, would really kick myself if he makes a PH appearance and knocks in 3 runs, though. I have Grudzi starting at 2nd for me tonight.

He's still not in the lineup <img src=/forums/images/smiles/kiss.gif>

I expected him in the lineup because he pinch hit last night. Hope he didn't aggravate the injury

i keep leaving him for that PH

love that double and 1.000 average tonight

I'm so happy he came back, he was one of my best surprises this year (I was one of those who drafted him and got lucky). I just hope he's the same hitter, meaning his hot streak before wasn't luck.
