Reuters Brian Roberts hasn’t played for the Orioles in more than a year following multiple concussions, but the veteran second baseman started a minor-league rehab assignment last week and is now aiming to be back in the majors at some point next month.
Roberts went 2-for-9 with two doubles and two walks in five games at Double-A, and Brittany Ghroli of MLB.com reports that his rehab stint will move to Single-A for the next two games.
After that Triple-A would be next, with manager Buck Showalter indicating that the Orioles would ask Roberts to spend a week there before making a decision on his status because “we talked about wanting him to really finish up competition-wise in Triple-A.”

Rehab assignments can only last 20 days so unless the O’s get an exception from the commish, he comes up June 12.

Unless, of course, he has a setback or a new injury. But it’s hard to think that’s part of the plan.

Setbacks probably ought to be planned for, considering how frequently they have transpired.

Can he pitch? That is where they O’s need the most help…
