Trumbo ran on his surgically repaired right knee Friday, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo is working towards a planned Grapefruit League debut March 12 against the Yankees. Provided he's able to debut then or soon after, he should still have time to get up to speed by Opening Day, but any setbacks would likely lead to a trip to the injured list to start the season.

Trumbo (knee) remains optimistic that he'll be ready to make his Grapefruit League debut March 12 versus the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo has been limited throughout the spring while continuing to recover from the right knee procedure he underwent in September. Though the slugger expressed optimism he would be ready for game action by mid-March, he acknowledged that his availability would hinge on clearing the multiple hurdles remaining in his recovery process. Any setbacks along the way would be detrimental to Trumbo's chances of avoiding a trip to the injured list ahead of Opening Day.

Trumbo (knee) will not be ready to return for the Orioles' early spring games, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo underwent knee surgery back in September. He's expected to be ready for Opening Day, which should still be possible as long as he's ready to return to game action sometime in the middle of the Orioles' spring games.

Trumbo relayed Saturday that he resumed taking batting practice as part of his rehab from right knee surgery, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo played just 90 games in 2018 while missing time due to the knee procedure and a quadriceps injury. The slugger seemed comfortably with how he's progressed in his recovery this offseason and continues to believe that he'll be ready to play Opening Day. A clearer picture for Trumbo's outlook isn't likely to come until spring training, when he'll have the chance to test out his knee in Grapefruit League action. Trumbo projects to serve as the Orioles' primary designated hitter to begin 2019 and could be a forgotten power source coming off a health-challenged season for a 115-loss team.

General manager Mike Elias said he expects Trumbo (knee) to be ready for Opening Day, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo dealt with a balky knee for most of the 2018 season before ultimately opting to undergo season-ending surgery in September to repair the cartilage in his right knee. Barring any setbacks, it sounds like Trumbo will be ready to go for the start of the 2019 campaign. The veteran slugger, who hit .261/.313/.452 with 17 homers when healthy in 2018 (90 games), figures to serve as Baltimore's primary designated hitter in 2019.

Trumbo was shifted to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The move has no impact on Trumbo's ability to return, as he's already been ruled out for the year after undergoing knee surgery. It clears room on the 40-man roster for the Orioles to select D.J. Stewart's contract.

Trumbo had successful surgery to repair the cartilage in his right knee Friday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo is hopeful that he will be back in action for the start of the 2019 season following this procedure. An estimated timetable of six months would put his return right around the beginning of March, though a better indication of his return date will come to light when he resumes baseball activities.

Trumbo will undergo knee surgery Sept. 6 or 7, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The procedure will be performed by Dr. Leigh Ann Curl, the team's orthopedist. Trumbo will be sidelined for six months following surgery. He's hoping to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. In 90 games this season, Trumbo hit .261/.313/.452 with 17 homers.

Trumbo will require a surgical procedure on his right knee after taking some time to review all his options, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo hasn't elected on when or where he will undergo the procedure just yet, but this decision confirms that he will be sidelined for the rest of the 2018 season. The 32-year-old realized that there was no other quality option after getting a second opinion with a specialist in California on Wednesday. More should be known regarding his timetable following surgery.

Trumbo could require surgery to address the lingering pain in his right knee, which resulted in his placement on the 10-day disabled list earlier this week, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the team would leave it up to Trumbo whether or not he wants to go undergo a procedure on the knee, a decision he's expected to make in the coming days. Trumbo had previously received an injection to reduce the inflammation in the knee, but it didn't provide enough relief for the 32-year-old to play comfortably on a regular basis. Given the Orioles' status as a non-contender, it wouldn't be surprising if Trumbo elected to pack it in for the season and go under the knife with the goal of entering spring training at full strength.
