Roberts is scheduled to undergo an endoscopy tomorrow because of persistent gastrointestinal discomfort that has become the latest health crisis to strike the Orioles’ leadoff hitter and second baseman.

Roberts visited back specialist Dr. Lee Riley on Monday and still hasn’t been cleared to begin baseball-related activities. Now he’s experienced another medical setback.

I almost forgot about the strained abdominal muscle that he suffered in the home opener. It seems like ancient news.

I’d suggest that Roberts could use a break, but I’m afraid which bone would be involved.
