Reimold is eligible to return May 16 after being shut down with a herniated disk in his cervical spine. He still has some tingling in his fingers, though his condition is improving.

Showalter believes that Reimold will need the at-bats, since he hasn’t played since April 30 in New York, when his 14-game hitting streak ended.

Triple-A Norfolk is home May 15-22, Double-A Bowie is home May 15-17, Single-A Frederick is home May 11-13 and Single-A Delmarva is home May 10-16.

I’ll post quotes from Showalter after – shameless plug alert – I appear on O’s Xtra on MASN beginning at 1 p.m.
