Orioles notes (from Nats Park)

Its Day 2 of the Battle of the Belways and the Orioles will look to win the series with a victory today as they send Brad Bergesen to the mound to oppose Craig Stammen.  Few Orioles notes:

But first, couple things with the Nats -- Nyjer Morgan returns to the lineup for the Nats today in the leadoff spot. Morgan received a much-needed day off yesterday but pinch hit in the seventh and doubled to left. Willie Harris then hit a two-run HR off Matt Albers. Scott Olsen, who left Friday night's game with shoulder tightness, received an MRI and the results were  negative.

Onto the Os --

Matt Wieters, who was out of the lineup yesterday with a bruised right knee, is back in the lineup today catching and batting sixth. Adam Jones, who left Friday night's game with leg cramps, is also back in the lineup playing center and hitting seventh.

From yesterday, Brian Roberts was released from the  hospital with pneumonia. He has a follow up appointment on Monday. Mike Gonzalez will pitch one inning of extended spring today followed by a day off on Sunday. He will pitch another inning on Monday.

Trembley on Koji Uehara, who didn't play catch or pick up a ball yesterday: "We have to get him into a little more baseball shape. I don't think he's up to where everyone else is. I think we have to be careful with him."

After Koji threw 29 pitches in Texas, they still don't know when he'll be available again.

"If he's not ready today," Trembley said, "I'll be concerned as to when." 

Trembley said he will get a report from hitting coach Rick Kranitz after batting practice.
