Sports Rehab: Steve Melewski Talks Orioles Baseball

Steve Melewski from MSANSports.com joined Sports Rehab to talk Orioles baseball and the injuries situation as Spring Training winds down.

With Opening Day just 7 days away, the Orioles are now dealing with some nagging injuries to a couple of guys who looked to be on the roster come next Monday in Tampa. Outfielder David Lough, who is dealing with back spasms and a sore hamstring, is probably headed to the disabled list to start the year. All-star shortstop JJ Hardy has a strained muscle in his left shoulder and has been shutdown from all baseball activities for the next ten days. With that news, it appears that Hardy will join All-Star catcher Matt Wieters as Oriole regulars who will miss the start of the 2015 season.

When could we expect to see Hardy back in the lineup?

"It shouldn't be much longer after April 11th that he'll be back" said Melewski. "The Orioles need their shortstop."
