The Baltimore Orioles are getting good news injury wise when it comes to Manny Machado, Dylan Bundy and Nolan Reimold. Machado and Bundy both seem very close to starting some real games.
Machado the Orioles star third baseman has been running the bases and is expected to play an extended spring training game tomorrow, according to Brittany Ghiroli. Machado could go on a rehab assignment as soon as next week, which means he is very close to coming back.
UPDATE: Machado has now played in two extended spring training games and all seems to have gone well. The first game he played five innings and the second game he played seven innings.
Bundy threw 40 pitches today which included off speed pitches. I do not think Bundy will make an impact right away but down the line maybe even later in this season he will make an impact.
Nolan Reimold finally started baseball activities. Reimold is on the 60-day disabled list and has an uphill climb.
Here are the tweets from Ghiroli about Machado, Bundy and Reimold.
Manny will play in a game tmrw in ext spring. Slid and cut the bases yesterday.
