SARASOTA, Fla. -- The Orioles are hoping catcher Matt Wieters can rejoin the club on June 4, the first day the All-Star is eligible to return.
Working his way back from Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Wieters caught all nine innings and ripped a single to right-center field during the eighth inning of the Orioles' extended spring game against the Red Sox on Tuesday. Wieters has yet to catch back-to-back games in camp, and manager Buck Showalter said on Tuesday in Baltimore that the club could get Wieters back behind the plate on an every-other-day basis at first.
