Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, who has undergone two knee surgeries the last two years, said he feels 100 percent as the start of the 2015 season nears, per MASNsports.com.
"Feels awesome to finally be healthy and feels good to be out there part of the team," he said. "Just want to help this team do whatever we can and get back to where we need to be. I feel great. Having fun.
"I want to play 162 games and stay healthy. Want to be on the field every day."
Machado is batting just .233 (7 for 30) with no home runs and one RBI through 10 spring games. But it doesn't appear manager Buck Showalter is putting too much stock in spring numbers.
"I think Manny's primed to have a good year. You can tell how good he feels. He's playing with a certain recklessness that healthy people play with," Showalter said.
