Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Thursday that still expects third baseman Manny Machado to be ready on opening day, MASN Sports reports.
Machado had reconstructive surgery on his left knee in October, a procedure that has an estimated recovery time of six months. He owned a .283/.314/.432 slash line with 14 home runs, 71 RBI and six stolen bases in 667 at-bats for the Orioles in 2013.
