Even with the injuries that the Birds are enduring this season that’s not stopping them from finding another person to fill the spot.  It also gives the fans a chance to see that the new GM Dan Duquette of the team has done alright.  As for the Manager Buck Showalter he does not look past anybody.  He says they want to “win”, so whoever is playing on the team on game day those players give them the best chance at just that to win.  Showalter feels very confident in how they have been able to mix up the line-up with different players.

Tsuyoshi Wada signed a two year 8.15 million dollar contract and he might not even step on the mound this season for the O’s.  Wada is getting checked out by Dr. Lewis Yocum who he did see him when he took his physical right before he joined the club a few months ago.  The Oriole Skipper Buck Showalter did say “that he could rehab the injury and be back with the team”.  Buck also said that there is always an option for surgery.

Either way Buck Showalter has a positive approach and does not seem to concern him.  He has confidence with the direction that his doctor is taking Wada.  The Skipper did not give any indication of a time line on when he will be back or when the decision will be made to go with the surgery.

Oriole’s third basemen Mark Reynolds is coming off a difficult season, to say the least. Things have not gotten any better.  The numbers do not lie he has 22 strike outs on the year second most in the American League.

Orioles skipper Buck Showalter is not sure what to do with Reynolds , but you can see his patience may be running thin, by not putting him in the line-up against the Blue Jays.

Buck Showalter talks about Nolan Reimold and his injury and did not give a timeline on when he will be back.  Buck did also say that Robert Andino will be taking a leave of absence for one or two games due to his wife having a third child.
