Lough (hamstring) will likely begin a rehab assignment Saturday, but there's also a chance he could join the Orioles, Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun reports. Lough will play in another intrasquad game Friday, and it appears he'll be ready a bit sooner than expected. Once he joins the Orioles, Lough figures to see semi-regular playing time against right-handed pitching, but his starts against southpaws will likely be few and far between. Last season, 154 of his 174 at-bats came against right-handers.
