Orioles outfielder Jay Payton could start the season on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, although he's still holding out hope of returning within a week or two. Payton sustained a grade one strain of his lower hamstring while running from second to third Monday in a spring training game against Minnesota. When he arrived at the clubhouse Tuesday, Payton slipped on a pair of shorts and a T-shirt and promptly headed toward the training room.
