Machado injury update… Updated

479px-Manny_Machado_8-10-2012Baltimore’s Manny Machado will not be coming off of the disabled list as early as they hoped. The Orioles hoped Machado would only be on the 15-day DL but that will not be the case.  Buck Showalter said today that Machado won’t even begin rehabbing within the 15-days.

Machado has a knee sprain and, as with all sprains, recovery just takes time. Sprains are tricky to diagnose and set recovery times for but Showalter said they should have an update tomorrow. Now the Orioles have to hope that Machado is back before the end of the season. Machado is great but having him come back for the playoffs after being out for an extended period of time would not be ideal.

Here is the tweet from Brittany Ghiroli about Machado.

Update: Looks like Machado could be done for the season. As Tim Brown reports Machado is expected to get knee surgery in a week and likely be out for the season. This is a huge loss for the Orioles who were hoping Machado would only miss a few weeks.
