Manager Brandon Hyde said Trumbo (knee) will play the field "soon" in extended spring training games, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo has been getting at-bats in during extended spring training games recently, and it sounds like he could be cleared to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment in the near future if everything goes off without a hitch during his return to the field.

Trumbo (knee) resumed hitting in the cage, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

This marks an encouraging step for Trumbo, who had been limited throwing and light running up until recently. The veteran slugger remains without a timetable for his return, though he won't be eligible to return until the end of May at the earliest given his placement on the 60-day IL. Look for a more concrete return date to come into focus once he ramps up his baseball activities.

Trumbo (knee) has yet to resume baseball activities beyond throwing and light running, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo has been sidelined all season while working his way back from September knee surgery. The veteran slugger will continue to work on strengthening his surgically-repaired knee until he's ready to resume normal baseball activity, at which point a more concrete timeline for his return will hopefully emerge. Given his placement on the60-day IL, Trumbo won't be eligible to return until at least the end of May.

Trumbo (knee) has not resumed baseball activities beyond throwing, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo was placed on the 60-day injured list in late March after feeling discomfort in his surgically repaired knee during spring training. The 33-year-old has been primarily working on strengthening the knee, but hasn't gotten to the point where he can return to normal baseball movements. He will not be eligible to return until at least the end of May.

Trumbo (knee) was placed on the 60-day injured list Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo will miss at least the first two months of the season as he continues to work his way back from September knee surgery. The move frees up a roster spot for Jesus Sucre. While Trumbo is on the shelf, Renato Nunez and Rio Ruiz are candidates to fill in at designated hitter.

General manager Mike Elias said the Orioles are considering placing Trumbo (knee) on the 60-day injured list, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo is working his way back from September knee surgery, and he may be further away from a return than initially expected. The 33-year-old was limited to DH duties in six Grapefruit League appearances and recently backed off baseball activities after not feeling right. While the Orioles don't want to rush the veteran slugger back, they also don't want to keep him sidelined longer than necessary, leaving the team with a difficult decision. Should Trumbo land on the 60-day IL, it would open up a spot on the 40-man roster for Jesus Sucre, who is expected to open the season as one of the team's two catchers. Renato Nunez (biceps) and Rio Ruiz are candidates to fill in at DH while Trumbo is on the shelf.

Trumbo (knee) said Sunday he will back off baseball activities and currently has no timetable for his return, Dan Connolly of The Athletic reports

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo was able to make his spring debut March 13 but the team announced earlier Sunday he would begin the season on the injured list. The 33-year-old is recovering from September knee surgery and was originally expected to be ready for Opening Day. Trumbo seems likely to be out through the first few weeks of the regular season at least, but there should be a better idea of a return date once he resumes baseball activities. Renato Nunez (biceps) and Rio Ruiz are options to fill in at designated hitter in the meantime.

Trumbo (knee) will open the season on the injured list, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Dan Connolly of The Athletic, Trumbo hasn't suffered any setbacks, but the veteran slugger simply won't be ready for the start of the season as he continues to recover from September knee surgery. At this point, it's unclear when Trumbo will be ready to return. Renato Nunez (biceps) and Rio Ruiz are candidates to fill in at DH until Trumbo is healthy.

Trumbo (knee) is in the lineup for Wednesday's spring game against the Blue Jays, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles have taken it easy with Trumbo this spring coming off September knee surgery, but he is finally ready for game action. Given that this will be Trumbo's first appearance since last August, the Orioles will ease him in and use him as the designated hitter in Wednesday's contest. With just over two weeks before Opening Day, it remains to be seen if he will have enough time to get into playing shape.

Trumbo (knee) is now targeting the Orioles' March 13 game against the Blue Jays for his Grapefruit League debut, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Orioles opted to push Trumbo's target date back one day for scheduling purposes, but there's no guarantee the 33-year-old will be ready to play by that time. Though Trumbo was able to ramp up his running Friday, the complexity of the right knee procedure he required last September has made the Orioles reluctant to push him this spring. Per Trezza, Trumbo noted Saturday that doctors typically recommend a year of recovery for his surgery, but the veteran slugger is trying to cut that timeline in half. With that in mind, it wouldn't be overly surprising if Trumbo opened the season on the injured list or if he received frequent days off early on in the campaign.
