Orioles third baseman Tim Beckham — who left Thursday’s spring training game against the Boston Red Sox after tweaking his groin — said the injury is minor and expects to return to action before the team’s Grapefruit League schedule ends Sunday.
Beckham wasn’t in the starting lineup for Friday afternoon’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays at Ed Smith Stadium, but said he’s not far from a return.
“I’m not thinking about not playing again in a spring game right now,” Beckham said. “But I’m taking it day by day. I feel like I’m ready for the season.
