The Orioles today announced that they have placed 2B BRIAN ROBERTS on the 15-day disabled list with a strained abdominal muscle, retroactive to April 10.
Roberts was batting .143 (2-14) with one double when he injured himself sliding into second base Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.
To fill Roberts’ roster spot, the Orioles recalled INF JUSTIN TURNER from Triple-A Norfolk. Turner appeared in 16 spring training games for the Orioles and batted .344 (11-32) with one home run and seven RBI. Turner also saw action in 12 games for Baltimore in 2009 after batting .300 (116-387) with two home runs and 43 RBI in 108 games at Norfolk.

Least we have a somewhat legitimate excuse for a poor start
Now that B Rob is out for a extended period of time, we have a minor excuse. Just kidding. The O’s will step up soon hopefully and get something going.
Tough loss early on for us though
O really, you think your funny well Fukudome!!!
