Manny Machado is encouraged by the initial progress of his surgically-repaired left knee. Machado is working out at the University of Miami, doing daily pool work and stabilization exercises. "Pretty much, it's been going great," the young third baseman told MLB.com. "Every session I get stronger and better, and that's what we are looking for right now." He is aiming to be in the Orioles' starting lineup on Opening Day.
