Rasmus (hip) could be sent to Double-A Bowie sometime this weekend to continue his rehab assignment, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus has been bothered by a hip injury since being placed on the disabled list April 7, but he'll take a step forward as he figures to face tougher competition at Double-A over the weekend. Although he appears to be on the mend, it's unclear when exactly Rasmus could return to big-league action.

Manager Buck Showalter said Rasmus' hip is still bothering him, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus has been on the disabled list since April 7 with a hip injury. While he recently returned to game action at extended spring training, he's still feeling some hip discomfort, suggesting his possible return is far from imminent. Craig Gentry and Joey Rickard will continue to pick up starts in the outfield in Rasmus' absence.

Rasmus (hip) was able to record a few at-bats during an extended spring training game Thursday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus will likely remain in Sarasota a little while longer in order to work his way back into game shape before heading out on a rehab assignment. The outfielder has been on the shelf since April 7 due to a left hip flexor strain.

Rasmus (hip) is close to playing in games at extended spring training, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus has been slowly working his way back from a strained left hip, an injury that he had initially been playing through before the Orioles opted to shut him down and send him to the disabled list in early April. The veteran outfielder has been hitting at extended spring training with no issues for most of he month and is close to returning to game action. Once Rasmus gets up to speed in extended spring training games, he should be cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment.

Rasmus (hip) was recently cleared to start hitting at the Orioles' extended spring training facility, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus has been on the shelf since April 6 with the strained left hip, an injury he had been playing through before the Orioles elected to shut him down following a 2-for-21, 13-strikeout start to the campaign. The veteran's absence has paved the way for Anthony Santander to see more time than expected in right field early on, but the Rule 5 pick probably hasn't performed consistently well enough to retain primary duties at the position once Rasmus is activated. It will be a while before the Orioles have to make a decision on that front, however, as Rasmus' return from the DL shouldn't be considered imminent until he appears in the outfield for multiple minor-league rehab games.

Rasmus (hip) threw from 120 feet and took part in agility exercises Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus continues to progress slowly in his recovery process from a hip flexor strain, though it's certainly better than a setback at this point. The veteran is expected to progress to swinging a bat toward the end of the week, meaning he's likely still a week or two away from returning from the DL. Anthony Santander should continue to see regular starts in right field in his stead.

Rasmus (hip) is recovering slowly and isn't expected to return to the Orioles as soon as he's eligible, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a left hip flexor strain last weekend and won't be ready until the team comes back to Baltimore starting on April 20. In his absence, expect to continue seeing Anthony Santander receive a majority of the starts in right field.

Rasmus (hip) received an MRI on Tuesday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles weren't concerned that Rasmus had incurred a setback in his rehab, rather they wanted to confirm their initial estimate that he'd need five-to-eight days for the injury to heal was accurate. Although he appears to be progressing as expected, it wouldn't be a surprise if the team was cautious with Rasmus, as a hip injury limited the 31-year-old to just 37 games last season.

Rasmus was put on the 10-day disabled list due to a left hip flexor strain prior to Saturday's game.
EDGE Analysis
At this point, there has yet to be word on a timetable for Rasmus, who appears to have sustained the injury during Friday's 14-inning game. This is potentially concerning news considering Rasmus stepped away from the game last season due to a lingering hip issue. In a corresponding move, Jimmy Yacabonis was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to provide a little extra depth in the club's bullpen. Expect to see more playing time for Anthony Santander with Rasmus on the shelf.

Rasmus is out of the lineup against the Yankees on Saturday, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rasmus will occupy a spot on the bench for the second straight game, though he did receive three at-bats during Friday's extra-inning win after entering as a replacement. Through eight games this year, the outfielder has gone just 2-for-21 with one extra-base hit and 13 strikeouts. Anthony Santander will draw another start in right.
