The Orioles are hoping to schedule Manny Machado’s physical for Thursday, but they might have to wait until the next homestand to introduce him to the Camden Yards crowd.

It’s conceivable that Machado will play for one of the affiliates before the minor league seasons are over. He could get more at-bats at the Orioles’ Dominican academy.

Down on the farm, Lou Montanez hit his first home run for Triple-A Norfolk, a solo shot off Gwinnett’s Kenshin Kawakami.
