Flaherty (groin) will receive the start at second base Sunday against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. Flaherty tweaked his groin in his return to the lineup Friday and was held out of the lineup Saturday, but it appears to be a non-issue at this point. He was able to play the field as a defensive replacement Saturday and should fill a utility role for the Orioles going forward.

Flaherty (groin) is available off the bench Saturday, CSN Baltimore reports. Flaherty admitted that he "kind of aggravated" his groin injury Friday in his first at-bat back from the DL, and was sore Saturday morning. Steve Pearce will start at second base with manager Buck Showalter deciding to play it safe with Flaherty, but Flaherty will be an option off the bench.

Flaherty is not in the lineup Saturday against the Yankees, Brittany Ghiroli of MLB.com reports. Making his return from a groin injury, Flaherty went 0-for-2 with a walk and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to New York. Steve Pearce will man second base Saturday, and with no word of a setback to Flaherty, it seems likely the two players will be deployed in some sort of timeshare until Jonathan Schoop (knee) is ready to go.

Flaherty went 0-for-2 with a walk and two runs in his return from the DL Friday against the Yankees. Flaherty settled back into his role at second base, a position he should man until Jonathan Schoop returns from the DL. That should not happen until around the All-Star break. Flaherty has been serviceable when healthy this season, slashing .281/.410/.563 with two home runs in 32 at-bats.

Flaherty (groin) was activated from the DL Friday and will play second base and hit ninth against the Yankees, MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli reports. He was performing admirably as the Orioles' second baseman before getting hurt, but it was a small sample. Flaherty slashes .224/.288/.379 for his career, so it would be difficult to expect him to stay hot all season. Once Jonathan Schoop is healthy in a month or two Flaherty could move to a bench role or be sent to the minors.

Flaherty (groin) took an early batting practice session Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports. Flaherty remains on track to be activated from the disabled list when first eligible Friday. It's unclear what role he'll serve in upon his return, but it's possible he will retake his spot as the everyday second baseman at least until Jonathan Schoop rejoins the club.

Flaherty (groin) is expected to be activated off the DL when he's first eligible Friday, Eduardo A. Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports. Flaherty started a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Monday, and appears to be progressing well as it's likely he'll miss just the minimum 15 days. Manager Buck Showalter indicated Flaherty could rejoin the team Thursday, but he won't be eligible until Friday's contest against the Yankees.

Flaherty (groin) is ready to start a rehab assignment Double-A Bowie on Monday, reports Roch Kubatko of MASN. This is at least encouraging that Flaherty will be ready for his Friday return date. The biggest concern with a groin injury is running and it sounds like he's reached that point.

Flaherty (groin) ran the bases Saturday, the Baltimore Sun's Eduardo Encina reports. He remains in line to return to the Orioles' mix at the keystone in the near future and should begin a rehab assignment Monday. Steve Pearce is currently getting starts at second base and Jonathan Schoop is expected to be out until at least the All-Star break.

Flaherty (groin) may begin his rehab Monday at Double-A, MASN Sports reports. Flaherty is eligible to come off the DL May 8 and he is expected to return to the Orioles that day. He should be in line to get in several minor league games before being activated. The second base job appears to be his until around midseason when Jonathan Schoop is expected to return.
