Brian Roberts (concussion) will accompany the Orioles to Anaheim, meaning he's traveled with them to all three cities on their road trip. It's a very good sign regarding Roberts' progress, especially when you combine it with the fact that he's been essentially doing everything baseball-wise lately. The O's have understandably been hesitant to place any timetable on the veteran, but it seems like a rehab assignment could be coming soon.

Brian Roberts (concussion) is taking batting practice in the cage daily. It's encouraging, as Roberts is essentially doing everything baseball-wise, but the Orioles don't seem any closer to establishing a timetable for the veteran. We'll continue to update his progress.

Orioles placed 2B Brian Roberts on the 15-day disabled list with post-concussion symptoms. Roberts is making steady progress from his concussion issues and will stay with the team when the season begins, but it's not clear when he'll be ready to play in a game.

Roberts will stay with the team while he is shelved. Avoiding the 60-day DL seems encouraging, though a two-month absence seems probable at this point. Robert Andino projects to serve as the O's starting second baseman.

Brian Roberts (concussion) said Tuesday that he's feeling increasingly better and hasn't had to take any days off from working out. Roberts is hitting regularly in the cage and has begun watching parts of the team's games in the dugout in order to get reacclimated. There's no timetable for him to get into a game, but he remains hopeful about playing this season. "If I was still sitting on the sidelines I'd be a lot less hopeful," said Roberts. "My doctor continues to tell me that there's very good reason for hope. So I don't see at this point, any reason why I won't. It's just a matter of when." The 34-year-old is doubtful for Opening Day at this point, so Robert Andino projects to serve as the O's starting second base.

"Every day that goes by and you don't feel worse, you're encouraged for sure." The next step for Roberts is to take live batting practice, though it's not clear when that will happen. "At some point coming up, hopefully," Roberts said. "I talk to my doctor every night and we kind of lay out a plan for the next day." It's so far, so good for Roberts, but he's obviously still got a long ways to go.

Brian Roberts (concussion) has been hitting off a tee and playing long toss in Orioles camp. Roberts had to skip the Orioles' annual FanFest in January due to lingering post-concussion symptoms, but all indications are that he's now feeling better.
