Orioles third baseman Manny Machado is on schedule in his rehab from left knee surgery. An update was provided Friday by Buck Showalter.
"Everything that he's supposed to be doing at this point he's doing," he told the Baltimore Sun. "He's not ahead of schedule, he's not behind schedule. ... What that is, whether it's the day after opening day, whether it's a month after opening day, we just don't want any setbacks and we have not had any setbacks yet."
Machado emerged as a force in 2013. He played exceptional defense while batting .283 with 14 home runs, 71 RBI and an AL-best 51 doubles.
