A week out from leaving a game with soreness in his surgically repaired right elbow, Orioles catcher Matt Wieters is taking live batting practice and said he’s more relieved by the day that the soreness isn’t a symptom of something serious.
“Every day we get better, it’s more and more optimistic,” Wieters said. “I think the key is that as long as we’re going on a path and getting it better each day, we’ll stay on that.”
Wieters felt tightness in the elbow that he had Tommy John surgery on in 2014 on a throw to second base in the first inning of the March 12 Grapefruit League game against the Minnesota Twins.
