Brian Roberts out how long?

[Gags Sports]

Anyone know if Roberts will be in the opening day lineup?

Haven't heard any reason why not.

Thanks GTWMA. I know he's only seen limited action this spring, so I wasn't sure if he was game ready or not.

he's been in the lineup everyday recently and he's ready to go.

Wow you scared me for a second, there. Last I heard he was OK, and I thought this was more recent. But, he should be in for opening day!

Mar 30 Just prior to Baltimore's exhibition game Wednesday, Roberts was scratched from the lineup because he was feeling sore after batting practice, the Baltimore Sun reported. The Orioles' second baseman, who just started playing in games a week ago following reconstructive surgery for a dislocated elbow last September, had started five straight games before getting Wednesday off.

Advice: Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo didn't consider the discomfort serious and said he expected Roberts back in the lineup Thursday against the Florida Marlins. Perlozzo told the newspaper that Roberts, despite the soreness, was much further long than expected this spring.

That's the last I've seen/heard. Anything more recent?
