| Player Notes |
| September 20, 2007 Jay Payton was suspended two games by MLB on Thursday for throwing his bat and helmet after he was ejected for arguing with plate umpire Mike Reilly following a strikeout the previous night. Payton didn't appeal the suspension and served the first game Thursday. |
| August 22, 2007 Jay Payton is expected to play in both games of Wednesday's doubleheader, the AP reports. He's been losing playing time in left field to Tike Redmond of late. |
| July 29, 2007 The Cubs and Orioles have had significant talks about trading Jay Payton to Chicago. If a deal is worked out, the O's likely would receive two mid-level prospects from the Cubs, according to the Baltimore Sun. The Mets also have shown interest in Payton. The non-waiver trade deadline is Tuesday, so a swap would have to be worked out soon. |
| April 22, 2007 Jay Payton had three hits and scored two runs in his first start since being activated from the DL. Payton had been out with a hamstring injury. |
| April 20, 2007 As expected, the Orioles activated Jay Payton from the DL Friday, according to SportsTicker. He's been out with a hamstring injury. To make room on the roster, the O's optioned Jon Knott to Triple-A Norfolk. |
| April 20, 2007 Jay Payton is set to come off the disabled list Friday, the Washington Post reports. He's returning from a hamstring injury. While Payton will join the Orioles for the first time, manager Sam Perlozzo may not insert him as a starter right away. Perlozzo said this week that Payton will be "a little bit behind" and he doesn't want to rush him. Payton's addition likely means a demotion for Jon Knott. |
| April 18, 2007 Jay Payton played six innings in an extended spring training game Tuesday, and will play the next two days in a rehabilitation stint with Triple-A Norfolk, the Washington Post reports. Orioles Manager Sam Perlozzo said it's not a certainty that Payton (hamstring) will become the regular left fielder once he returns from the DL. "He is a left fielder and he is a center fielder," Perlozzo said when asked if Payton was the team's left fielder. "We'll see how he is. We want to make sure that he is good. He's going to be a little bit behind." |
| April 17, 2007 Jay Payton is scheduled to play six innings and get three at-bats in an extended spring training game today, according to the Baltimore Sun. Barring any setbacks, he'll report to Norfolk for a two-day rehabilitation stint before joining the Orioles on Friday. Payton has been sidelined since the beginning of the year with a strained hamstring. |
| April 16, 2007 Jay Payton is scheduled to play in an extended spring training game on Tuesday and is expected to rejoin the team on Friday, according to the AP. Payton has been out all year with a strained hamstring. |
| April 10, 2007 Jay Payton, who is out with a strained left hamstring, will stay on the disabled list at least another week, according to the AP. He was eligible to be activated Wednesday, but has yet to test the injury by running at full speed. |
| April 7, 2007 Jay Payton, recovering from a strained hamstring, took live batting practice on Friday, according to the Baltimore Sun. He hopes to start running this weekend. Payton is eligible to return from the DL next Wednesday, but it's uncertain if he'll be ready by then. "I would just like to be close," Payton said. "I'm not going to try to come off three or four days early just because the 11th is the day I can come off. I'm going to come off when I feel good and I'm ready to play and I feel like I don't have to worry about it the rest of the year." |
| April 4, 2007 Jay Payton is expected to start running later this week, the Baltimore Sun reports. It's likely that he'll go on a rehabilitation assignment in the minor leagues before playing for the Orioles; Payton is currently on the DL with a strained hamstring. |
| April 1, 2007 Jay Payton has been placed on the disabled list retroactive to March 27. He's dealing with a strained hamstring. |
| March 31, 2007 Jay Payton admitted yesterday that he probably will begin the season on the disabled list due to his strained hamstring, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I would rather miss seven or eight games now than miss 30 or 40 games later by doing something stupid," Payton said. |
| March 30, 2007 Jay Payton expects to hit off a tee Friday and do some throwing, though he won't resume full running or face live pitching, the Baltimore Sun reports. The Orioles still expect Payton to begin the year on the disabled list due to his strained hamstring, but the decision hasn't been made final yet. |
| March 27, 2007 Jay Payton is expected to be sidelined up to three weeks with a strained hamstring, according to the Baltimore Sun. It's possible he could return sooner, but he won't know the extent of the injury until the next couple of days. If Payton isn't ready to start the year, Jay Gibbons would start in left field. |
