Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts, who revealed on Monday that he was diagnosed with a small herniated disk in his back about a month ago, said that he thinks he'll be able to take live batting practice "within a week."
Roberts took groundballs and was able to participate in most of the first full-squad workout. However instead of taking live batting practice, Roberts hit off a tee and did some soft toss in the indoor batting cages.
"I'm not very far behind" said Roberts, who also lifted weights and did conditioning. "We're just gradually working back into it."
