Orioles 2B Brian Roberts, who left Saturday's game with a bruised left foot, and catcher Ramon Hernandez, who was a late scratch Saturday with soreness in his left wrist, were not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. Trembley said both could play, but with the day off Monday that both should be ready to go Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. (Updated 05/11/2008).
Injury Report
Foot - Questionable for May 13-14 series vs. Boston (Updated - 5/11/08)
Fantasy Analysis
The two days of rest should help Roberts, who has just four hits in his last 20 plate appearances. Roberts' average is a little low for Fantasy owners liking (.257), but he still has three homers, 15 RBI and 11 stolen bases. Nice production from a second baseman. Roberts appears to be a low-risk start for Fantasy Week 7 (May 12-18). (Updated 05/11/2008).
