Steve Pearce has been given a cortisone shot in his left wrist.

Obviously the Orioles are hoping the shot speeds along the healing process. There's no timetable for his return.

Steve Pearce has been receiving treatment on both wrists for the past month. Pearce landed on the DL Friday with left wrist tendinitis, but he's had the same issue with his right wrist.

Steve Pearce went 2-for-3 and knocked in three runs Wednesday in the Orioles' 10-7 victory over the Yankees. The Orioles have assembled quite a list of bench candidates, having picked up Danny Valencia, Conor Jackson, Russ Canzler, Chris Dickerson, Travis Ishikawa and Trayvon Robinson over the winter. Pearce is one of the players with a shot of making the team as a right-handed caddy for Chris Davis and Wilson Betemit, but since he's not on the 40-man, he seems more likely to start off in Triple-A.
