Orioles third baseman Manny Machado is making little progress from a knee injury that has prevented him from participating in spring training. He has not run for five days, per MASNsports.com. The issue is scar tissue that flared up and motivated the Orioles to shut him down.
Machado, who exploded onto the scene last season as a sure fielder and doubles machine, seems certain now to begin the season on the disabled list. Buck Showalter had said last week that Machado was ahead of schedule in his recovery, but the latest news serves as a setback.
