Nolan Reimold acknowledged Monday that he is likely to receive a second epidural shot in his neck.
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said the same thing last week. We should know more after Reimold meets with a doctor Monday night, but he’s clearly not close to returning from the disabled list. Xavier Avery should continue to get most of the playing time in left field.

Brian Roberts (concussion) indicated Monday that he is close to beginning a minor league rehab assignment.
Nothing is official yet, but there’s a chance it could happen within a week if he continues to make progress. He’ll likely start out playing with Double-A Bowie, which is close to his home. While this is encouraging news, there’s no timetable for him to rejoin the Orioles. Robert Andino, who is hitting .264/.314/.372 through 161 plate appearances this year, will continue to fill in at second base.

Wei-Yin Chen got roughed up for six runs on eight hits in just 4 1/3 innings of Sunday’s loss to the Nationals.
He struck out five and walked three. Chen was staked to an early 3-0 lead, but ended turning in his shortest start of the season. The non-quality outing was just his second in his past six outings. Now the owner of a 3.35 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 37/17 K/BB ratio through his first 48 1/3 MLB innings, Chen will get the Royals at home next weekend.
