Trumbo (knee) stated the results of his MRI showed arthritis, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo believes he made his knee worse by sliding into second base Wednesday, but he also acknowledged that he'd been feeling discomfort in his knee for a while. Along with getting the knee drained, he'll also likely receive cortisone shots within the next few days. The timetable for his return remains unclear, although more news on his status should emerge in the near future.

Trumbo (knee) is scheduled for a precautionary MRI on Thursday, Steve Melewski of MASNsports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo was absent from Wednesday's lineup due to a knee ailment, and he's set to undergo a MRI to make sure there isn't any extensive damage. He'll be considered day-to-day until the results of the test come back. Pedro Alvarez will take over as the designated hitter for Thursday's matchup against the White Sox.

Manager Buck Showalter said Trumbo is not in the lineup Wednesday against the White Sox due to a right knee issue, Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Sun reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo apparently picked up the injury while sliding into second base during Tuesday's game. Specifics regarding the injury remain unclear, but he's currently being listed as day-to-day. Danny Valencia is serving as the designated hitter in his stead Wednesday.

Trumbo is not in Wednesday's starting lineup against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo will get the day off after a four-hit performance Tuesday night. He's been productive at the plate through his first 20 games, hitting .309 with two homers and eight RBI. Danny Valencia is set to fill in as the designated hitter and bat sixth during Wednesday's series finale.

Trumbo went 4-for-4 with two doubles and an RBI in Tuesday's loss to the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo recorded both of his doubles off starter James Shields, and the four-hit night brings his slash line to .309/.317/.469. Trumbo is registering hits at a good pace, but is still struggling to get on base otherwise. The 32-year-old has 22 strikeouts and just one walk in 82 plate appearances.

Trumbo went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

The homer was his first in 10 games since coming off the disabled list at the beginning of May. Trumbo's been productive despite the lack of power, slashing .325/.341/.475, but his track record indicates his batting average will plummet as the season progresses even if he does send more balls over the fence.

Trumbo (quadriceps) was activated from the disabled list Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Trumbo came off the disabled list Tuesday. Now that he's healthy, Trumbo figures to see regular time in Baltimore's lineup out of the DH spot. Trumbo played three games at both Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk during his rehab assignment, combining to go 5-for-24 (.208) at the dish.

The Orioles will activate Trumbo (quadriceps) from the 10-day disabled list prior to Tuesday's series opener against the Angels, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Baltimore has already opened up a spot on the active roster for Trumbo after optioning Joey Rickard to Triple-A Norfolk following the Orioles' victory over the Tigers on Sunday. Trumbo took longer than expected to return from the quadriceps injury he sustained during spring training in mid-March, but he proved his health by appearing in three consecutive games for Norfolk over the weekend, going 4-for-14 with three RBI in those contests. The 32-year-old should immediately settle in as the Orioles' everyday designated hitter, which may result in Pedro Alvarez's role declining.

Trumbo (quadriceps) could be activated from the 10-day disabled list when the Orioles begin their West Coast road trip May 1, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

After a nearly two-week layoff, Trumbo restarted his rehab assignment Monday at Double-A Bowie, going 1-for-3 with a walk in that contest. The slugger was expected to play Tuesday, but a rainout delayed his rehab schedule and will push his return from the DL until next week. Trumbo, who is expected to move his rehab to Triple-A Norfolk over the weekend, will likely take over as the Orioles' primary designated hitter once activated, which could result in the likes of Pedro Alvarez, Danny Valencia and Anthony Santander losing out on at-bats.

Trumbo (quadriceps) will head to Double-A Bowie to resume his rehab assignment Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trumbo is scheduled to play three consecutive days in Bowie, likely manning an outfield spot Monday and Tuesday before serving as the designated hitter in a day game Wednesday. If his strained right quadriceps muscle responds well to the activity, Trumbo would likely join Triple-A Norfolk for its three-game series over the weekend, tentatively putting the slugger in line for a return from the 10-day disabled list the following week. Pedro Alvarez and Danny Valencia have largely shared the DH duties for the Orioles while Trumbo has spent the entire season on the DL.
