Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that while Brian Roberts (concussion) is making progress, he's still not yet cleared to play in games. Roberts has had many moments of progression before, only to ultimately suffer a setback. We're probably stating the obvious at this point, but fantasy owners can't count on him coming back at all this season.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Brian Roberts (concussion) will not need a long rehab assignment if he makes it back this season. "The thought that he would have to go out and play two or three weeks more of games, if he's going to do that somewhere else, he can do that here," Showalter said. The manager added that he's still expected Roberts to return at some point. "I'm feeling real positive about it," Showalter said. "I hope he can string together some good days and the doctors release him. I'm looking at it as something that's going to happen. I'm not looking at it any other way."

Brian Roberts (concussion) is still battling migraines. Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun now says that the veteran second baseman's return this season is "very much in doubt." Roberts can be dumped in fantasy leagues.

Brian Roberts (concussion) had another migraine headache Friday. It's his second migraine this week, or at least what has been reported. Roberts has been told that it's not related to his concussion, but it certainly isn't doing any favors for his rehab. There's no current timetable for his return.

Brian Roberts (concussion) had a migraine headache on Monday. The good news, though, is that he was told it wasn't related to his concussion. The veteran second baseman has resumed workouts, but the timeline for his return remains very fluid.

Brian Roberts was cleared by a concussion specialist Thursday to increase his workload. Roberts is still experiencing the occasional concussion-related symptom, but he'll try more strenuous workouts this week and see how he feels. The Orioles still aren't sure about an exact timetable for their veteran second baseman.

Brian Roberts is scheduled to meet with a concussion specialist on Thursday. Roberts has already been cleared to perform some baseball-related activities, but he's avoided anything too strenuous and is still experiencing concussion-related symptoms. The second baseman remains out indefinitely.

Brian Roberts (concussion) did some conditioning work and also played long toss and took flips Saturday. Roberts has another appointment next week with concussion specialist Dr. Michael Collins and hopes to be cleared for increased baseball activities at that time. It's anyone's guess if he'll get that clearance, but if he does, it shouldn't be too long after that that he's finally ready for a rehab assignment.

Brian Roberts (concussion) participated in light baseball activities Saturday. It is possible Roberts could begin hitting within the next couple of days, which would represent another positive sign of progress. Still, there's no timetable for his return from the disabled list.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Brian Roberts (concussion) had a difficult day Thursday before feeling much better Friday. The fact that he's still have bad days is obviously not a good sign, as the O's aren't going to activate him until he's completely symptom-free. Roberts' return date is still completely up in the air, and it's certainly conceivable that he might not make it back at all this season.
