Orioles/As pregame tidbits and lineups

Some notes from you pregame as the Orioles try to salvage a
split of the four-game series against Oakland.

*Koji Uehara threw batting practice today and will throw a
simulated game on Monday. There’s no timetable in place, but manager Dave
Trembely acknowledged Koji is getting better.

*Brian Roberts saw Dr. Lee Riley and he is responding well
to the second epidural in his back. He will see Riley (who is a back
specialist) again on Monday.

*The Orioles held a team meeting earlier today to try to get
back on track. It a players-only type meeting, with Trembley declined to
comment on the meeting, preferring to keep it in-house.
