Nick Markakis (neck) hopes to resume baseball activities by Friday or Saturday.
Markakis was diagnosed with a slightly herniated disk in his neck last week. He's expected to meet with a doctor this week, after which he could be cleared to resume baseball activities. He remains optimistic that he'll be ready for the season, though there's a chance the Orioles could play things safe.
