PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Orioles catcher Matt Wieters was scheduled to take live batting practice on Saturday, his first time doing so since he aggravated his surgically repaired right elbow a week ago.
"We hope that he's moving toward the field in a week at most, but who knows?" Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "It could be eight days. It could be five."
It looked like Wieters would be facing a much longer delay when he felt discomfort making a throw to second last Saturday. But once an X-ray and an MRI came back negative, he began working his way back.
