Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Won't be ready when first eligible
Share Video
Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino said Monday that Westburg (ankle) will not be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Friday, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
The Orioles have a road trip that runs through Sept. 3, and Westburg isn't expected to be available at any point during that trip. He might be ready to rejoin the team for the start of a homestand Sept. 5, but that will depend on how he progresses over the next several days. According to Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun, Mansolino said that Westburg was able to do some sprinting on the field Monday, but is still "ginger" while running. The Orioles have been using a combination of Luis Vazquez, Vimael Machin and Jeremiah Jackson at third base since Westburg went down with the right ankle sprain last week.
