Orioles infielder Manny Machado was able to take ground balls Tuesday, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Machado will begin the year on the disabled list, but the team has been quiet about a possible return date. As long as Machado continues to get through workouts with no issues, he could return shortly after the start of the year. Machado hit .283/.314/.432 in 667 at-bats last year.
