masn-baseballs-orioles.jpgI have tons of transcription to pass along today after center fielder Adam Jones and manager Buck Showalter spoke to the media in the auxiliary clubhouse at Camden Yards. Watch for it in my next few blog entries.
In the meantime, I’ll just pass along some quick hits here while the White Sox take batting practice in an empty ballpark.
The press box is full. Media requests were turned down due to a lack of space.

hardy-throws-back-white-sidebar.jpgJ.J. Hardy said his left shoulder feels much better after Saturday’s cortisone injection. He’s swinging the bat today and will accompany the Orioles to Tampa this weekend to continue his workouts.

Hardy hopes to begin an injury rehab assignment next week.

Ryan Flaherty (groin) took 75 swings today and should begin his rehab assignment early next week. He told me that he’s feeling much better.

Matt Wieters will catch again at extended spring training on Thursday.

Jonathan Schoop had fluid drained from his right knee to quicken his recovery.

Wesley Wright (left trapezius) should start throwing early next week in Sarasota.

The Orioles will fly back from Tampa on Sunday night and take a train to New York the following day. They’re inviting the players’ families to join them in Florida.

The Orioles will wear their home uniforms in Tampa. The Rays were instructed to wear their road grays.

I don’t have mascot information, however. My apologies.

Chris Tillman, Miguel Gonzalez, and Wei-Yin Chen will start for the Orioles at Tropicana Field. The Rays are countering with Alex Colome, Chris Archer and Nathan Karns.
