PLAYERS: Brian Roberts,  Ryan Flaherty,  Nolan Reimold
TEAMS: Baltimore Orioles

With Brian Roberts coming back tonight, infielder Steve Tolleson was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.

We will be watching to see what Roberts does in his return; however, Tolleson did a decent job while up with the Orioles and had a few big hits. Tolleson was a victim of the numbers game, and since Ryan Flaherty is a Rule 5 guy, he can't be sent down.

I would imagine Tolleson will be back if an injury pops-up, or if there's a need for a reserve guy.

Brian Roberts returns

Via Oriole Post  |  June 14, 2012
On Wednesday Brian Roberts completed a long road back from injury making his first start with the Orioles since May 16, 2011. I never thought I would be writing those words this year. I honestly doubted I would ever write those words again. Brian Roberts' recovery was so long and his body seemed so delicate this spring that I never thought he would get back to Camden Yards...

Via The Sports Lion  |  June 14, 2012
Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts played his first major league game in 13 months Tuesday night.

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  June 11, 2012
Many thought he'd never play again, yet barring a last-minute setback, second baseman Brian Roberts is due to return to the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday.

Was Brian Roberts The Best AL Second Baseman Of The Aughts?

Via Mr. Irrelevant  |  June 12, 2012
Brian Roberts is set to play tonight for the first time in 13 months, so what better time to dust off some three-year-old, half-baked research? I put this together in the fall of 2009 to see where B-Rob ranked among the best 2B of the past decade, and I don’t know why I didn’t post it then. But here it is, the top 2B of the ’00s ranked by WAR (with OPS+ and plate appearances...

At long last, Roberts returns for O's

ORIOLES IN THE NEWS Nolan Reimold, who started out the season on fire, looking like he was going to be a mixed league force in the outfield, continues to linger on the sidelines with that herniated disk in his neck (the pain has subsided, but there is still weakness in the area). Tuesday he was moved from the 15 day DL to the 60 day DL pushing back his return to action even farther...

MLB gets stringent with concussions

Via Fox Sports  |  June 14, 2012
