Miley on track, set for sim game Tuesday

BALTIMORE -- Orioles starter Wade Miley will throw a simulated game in Double-A Bowie on Tuesday's off-day, and the lefty said prior to Monday's Opening Day that he's still on track to pitch on April 9.

Miley, who was placed on the disabled list to start the season due to illness, is aiming to get up five or six times before he gets into a big league game.

"I feel fine right now," Miley said. "It's just a matter of getting my pitch count in a better position, get it up a little bit. That way, we're not putting the bullpen at risk, especially this early in the year.
