Trumbo (knee) will take a break from his rehab assignment for a few days due to lingering knee issues, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trumbo only began the rehab stint Tuesday and played in two games, so the fact he's having trouble after such brief action isn't a good sign. Per Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun, the 33-year-old still hopes to play this season, but his surgically repaired right knee simply doesn't feel right.

Trumbo (knee) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Trumbo has been on the injured list all season while recovering from last September's knee surgery. He'd been on a rehab assignment earlier in the season before being shut down after receiving a PRP injection in mid-June. The length of his absence means that his rehab assignment is unlikely to be brief.

Trumbo (knee) took batting practice on the field Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trumbo's knee is reportedly feeling much better, though the Orioles still don't know when he could go out on a rehab assignment. They are optimistic that he'll be able to return from the injured list at some point this season, however. Trumbo hasn't played in the big leagues yet this year after undergoing knee surgery in September of 2018.

Manager Brandon Hyde said Trumbo (knee) is "feeling better," Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Trumbo is improving, it remains to be seen when the veteran slugger will be cleared to resume baseball activities. Until that happens, he should be considered out indefinitely.

Trumbo will be shut down for 7-to-10 days after receiving a PRP injection in his right knee, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trumbo experienced renewed soreness in his surgically repaired right knee, prompting the Orioles to pull him off his rehab assignment Thursday. The veteran slugger had appeared in eight games between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk and was seemingly close to a return before suffering the setback. A new timetable for his return likely won't emerge until he's able to resume his rehab.

Trumbo (knee) is not in Thursday's lineup for Triple-A Norfolk.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles are seemingly easing their veteran player back into form after the 33-year-old was cleared for action following September knee surgery. The power hitter has played in eight games between Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk thus far, slashing .214/.333/.393 to go along with three extra-base hits, including a home run. If he can find his rhythm at the plate and avoid setbacks, he could return to the major-league squad early next week.

Trumbo (knee) is expected to remain with Triple-A Norfolk through its upcoming homestand.
EDGE Analysis
The homestand begins Tuesday and runs through Sunday, June 16. It's possible Trumbo is activated by the Orioles early next week, if by then the team feels Trumbo has regained his timing at the plate. Trumbo hit his first home run of 2019 in Saturday's loss to Columbus, and is now batting .240/.345/.440 in seven total rehab games between Double-A Bowie and Norfolk.

Trumbo (knee) will have his rehab assignment transferred from Double-A Bowie to Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trumbo has already played three games with Bowie, going 3-for-13 with three strikeouts. Manager Brandon Hyde said Sunday that "everything's going well" in Trumbo's recovery from right knee surgery, with the Orioles now at the point where they're just waiting on him to pick up at-bats to make up for the time he lost during spring training and the first couple months of the regular season. Hyde said the team is tentatively targeting June 10 or 11 for Trumbo's return from the 60-day injured list. Though he's served as the Orioles' primary designated hitter the past three seasons, it's unclear if Trumbo will have a full-time role waiting for him when he returns with Renato Nunez thriving of late as the team's DH.

Trumbo (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Trumbo has been out all season while recovering from September knee surgery. Given the length his absence, his rehab assignment is not expected to be a brief one.

Trumbo (knee) has been playing first base and outfield during games at extended spring training and will soon be ready to begin a minor-league rehab assignment, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Trumbo's surgically repaired knee apparently responding well to his recent activity, the Orioles could map out a rehab schedule for the veteran slugger during the upcoming week. Since Trumbo was sidelined for most of spring training, he'll likely need more than a handful of games in the minors before the Orioles are comfortable activating him. Once he's back with the big club, Trumbo could take on a full-time role at first base, designated hitter or in the corner outfield.
