Manny Machado (knee) could be cleared to resume baseball activities during a checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Thursday. Dr. ElAttrache is who performed Machado's left knee surgery last October. Although the young infielder will not attend the Orioles' minicamp this week, manager Buck Showalter said it's a result of ill-timed scheduling rather than a setback with Machado's recovery. The O's are expecting Machado to be ready to roll by Opening Day.
