The Orioles have activated third baseman Manny Machado from the disabled list, but he is not in the lineup for the opener of the Thursday doubleheader against Pittsburgh. He said he expects to be in the lineup for the nightcap.
Machado has been sidelined with a knee injury since late last season. He thrived in a minor league rehab stint for Class A Advanced Frederick, going 8 for 12 with four doubles and a triple.
