Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts will make his spring debut for the team on Friday. Roberts has had a rocky road in recovering from a herniated disc in his lower back. Baltimore hopes for him to play five innings and get three at-bats against Minnesota. "I don't really know what has helped and what hasn't," said Roberts. "I know it feels better. I feel better than I did 10 days ago. There's things that still feel the exact same, but things that feel a little better. So as long as [the epidural] helped me hit, that's all that really matters."
