Tejada and Roberts???

Roberts is a tough guy, not afraid to play with a little pain, but groin injuries can be tough, want him to get 100% but hope it doesnt take too long

Doctors come forth. How long does it take to come back from a strained groin?

I'm no doctor, but my understanding is that as long as the groin isn't torn, and its just a strain, it shouldn't take too long to return, I'd say day-to-day, and no more than a week.

If its torn, it could be a couple months.

I have roberts, so I'm concerned about this.

On a side note, I had a sever groin pull (not tear) in high school, and it took 2 months before I could run at all. 6 months for full speed. Granted I didn't have a crack staff of physical therapists fixing me, but they can be very severe.

Roberts to the 15 DL.

Orioles placed second baseman Brian Roberts on the 15-day disabled list with a pulled groin.
The Orioles aren't sure Roberts will need the full 15 days, but they had to add a bench player today. Chris Gomez and Brandon Fahey will share time at second base until Roberts returns. Corey Patterson is in the leadoff spot today, further increasing his value. Apr. 30 - 1:11 pm et
