Brian Roberts was examined today by team orthopedist Dr. John Wilckens and placed on new anti-inflammatory medication, but he'll need at least a couple more days for the medication to take effect before resuming his rehab program.
"We'll wait a few more days until he's on the medication,'' said manager Dave Trembley, "and we'll see where he's at."
Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said today that the club still projects Roberts as the starter at second base on Opening Day, but he isn't taking that for granted.
"You still have to start looking at options if he's not,'' MacPhail said.
