| Player Notes |
| December 13, 2007 Miguel Tejada was one of many names listed in the Mitchell Report on Thursday, according to ESPN.com. Tejada, who was traded to Houston on Wednesday, reportedly purchased HGH back in back in 2003. |
| December 12, 2007 The Astros acquired Miguel Tejada from the Orioles Wednesday, according to the Baltimore Sun. In return, the O's received Troy Patton, Luke Scott, Matt Albers, Dennis Sarfate and Michael Costanzo. Tejada, who hit .296 with 18 homers and 81 RBI this past year, is expected to play shortstop, meaning Adam Everett will be left without a starting job. |
| December 4, 2007 The Orioles met with the Cardinals Monday to discuss a possible Miguel Tejada trade, according to the Baltimore Sun. However, the Cards are unwilling to part with outfield prospect Colby Rasmus, which may be a sticking point. That said, if the Cardinals deal Scott Rolen, it's expected they would step up their efforts to acquire Tejada to play third base. The Giants, Astros and Angels are also kicking tires on the slugger. |
| July 29, 2007 Miguel Tejada, who returned on Friday from the disabled list, might be used at DH on Sunday, the AP reports. Tejada went 2-for-4 with four RBI in Saturday's victory over the Yankees. |
| July 27, 2007 The Orioles activated Miguel Tejada from the 15-day DL on Friday, according to the AP. He had been out since June 22 with a broken bone near his left wrist. Tejada is batting .306 with seven homers and 41 RBI in 72 games. |
| July 26, 2007 Miguel Tejada played six innings for Double-A Bowie on Wednesday and reported no pain near his left wrist, the AP reports. Tejada will play with Class-A Frederick on Thursday, and if he feels OK, will return from the 15-day disabled list on Friday. |
| July 25, 2007 Miguel Tejada had the broken bone near his left wrist examined Tuesday and was cleared to participate in baseball activities, the AP reports. He hopes to play in two minor league games before being activated from the disabled list Friday. |
| July 22, 2007 Miguel Tejada, on the DL with a fractured wrist, said he is completely healed and wants to play on Friday against the Yankees, according to the AP. However, it's unclear whether or not he'll actually be activated at that time. |
| July 22, 2007 Miguel Tejada will have X-rays taken of his fractured left wrist on Tuesday. If they prove that the joint has healed significantly, Tejada should be cleared for batting practice, according to the Baltimore Sun. Tejada hopes to return to action on Friday; the shortstop is tough enough to do it, but it's really going to depend on getting medical clearance. Regardless, he's getting closer and closer to playing. |
| July 18, 2007 Tuesday was apparently a great day for Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada. He continued his recovery from fractured left wrist by taking grounders and working on his swing in the batting cage. The Baltimore Sun reports he then went into the clubhouse and announced, "I've never felt so happy in my life." Tejada said he felt no pain after his exercises and is targeting July 28 as a potential return date. |
| July 18, 2007 Miguel Tejada took the field on Tuesday for the first time since June 20, the next step in his rehab from a broken radius bone near the inside of his left wrist, the AP reports. Tejada took ground balls for 20 minutes, took 50 swings off a tee and played soft-toss in the Safeco Field batting cages. He said there is no pain in the wrist, but Tejada won't see any live pitching until after his next series of X-rays on July 24. "I've been working really hard with my body. The last 20 days I've been working with a trainer in Baltimore . . . and I feel really good," Tejada said. Manager Dave Trembley said Tejada likely will follow the lead of other players and have at least one minor league rehab game before rejoining the Orioles. Tejada believes that could be as early as next weekend, but Trembley said the next series of X-rays will determine Tejada's timetable. |
| July 17, 2007 Miguel Tejada rejoined the Orioles on Monday and is expected to hit off a tee and field ground balls Tuesday, according to the AP. It was his first work since breaking his wrist June 20. Tejada is due for another X-ray July 24. |
| July 15, 2007 Miguel Tejada wanted to begin swinging a bat on Saturday, but the Orioles are begin extremely cautious with the shortstop. Instead, he will wait until Monday to resume baseball-related activities like hitting off a tee and and soft tosses, as well as fielding grounders, according to the Baltimore Sun. He'll have his fractured left wrist X-rayed on July 24. If all is well, then he'll begin the next phase of his rehab. |
| July 13, 2007 The Orioles are hopeful Miguel Tejada will be able to begin baseball-related activities within the next few days, the Baltimore Sun reports. "They told me I'm fine," said Tejada, who had his wrist examined Wednesday. "Everything now will go day by day." Tejada said he wants to hit soft tosses today or tomorrow, but he's more likely to hit off a tee first if the medical staff clears him. He'll also throw and run some. |
| June 26, 2007 Miguel Tejada won't be able to resume baseball activities for at least a month because of a fractured right wrist, and could be sidelined well into August, according to the AP. "There's nothing I can do," Tejada said Tuesday. "I don't want to be out. It's tough for me because I like to play baseball. I just hope I heal pretty good and can be back before (August)." |
| June 22, 2007 Miguel Tejada went on the 15-day disabled list Friday afternoon because of a non-displaced fracture in his left wrist, which was suffered on Wednesday. This trip to the DL ends a streak of 1,152 consecutive games played for Tejada, the fifth-longest such streak in league history. Chris Gomez and Freddie Bynum will both see time at shortstop while Tejada is out. |
| June 22, 2007 Miguel Tejada has been diagnosed with a nondisplaced fracture in his left wrist, an injury that's expected to send him to the disabled list. "It's just a crack," Orioles Vice President Jim Duquette told the Baltimore Sun. "That means it will heal, but if you re-injure it and it becomes a fracture, then the only way to make it heal properly is to put a screw in it. That's certainly more complicated." Landing on the DL would mean that Tejada's streak of 1,152 consecutive games played would come to an end. |
| June 21, 2007 Miguel Tejada got in a lone at-bat Thursday before being replaced by a pinch-runner. Interim manager Dave Trembley said he let Tejada get a trip to the plate out of respect for the shortstop's streak of 1,152 consecutive games played, according to the AP. Tejada was hit on his left wrist by a pitch Wednesday and obviously still was feeling the effects on Thursday. Whether he'll be in the mix Friday is up in the air at this point, so check back for updates on his status. |
| June 21, 2007 Miguel Tejada was hit on the left wrist by a Doug Brocail pitch in the eighth inning of Wednesday's game, the AP reports. X-rays were negative, but Tejada said he was going to a hospital to have a CT scan. |
| May 25, 2007 Miguel Tejada hit his third home run of the season during Thursdays loss to the Blue Jays. It was his first home run this month. |
| May 21, 2007 If Miguel Tejada ever sits out a game, it will but up to him, not manager Sam Perlozzo. Perlozzo said Tejada, who has now played in 1,124 consecutive games, has earned the right to make the call, according to the Baltimore Sun. "To me, there is no use broaching that," Perlozzo said. "That's Miggy's call. When Miggy says that he wants to get the day off, he'll get the day off. He knows if he ever wants to DH sometime that he can try to get to me a day or two before so I can maneuver the lineup and work it out for him. That's what I told him I'd try to do." Tejada has only seven hits in his past 34 at-bats and has just one extra-base hit this month. However, he's hitting .305 on the season, and his iron-man approach is one of his greatest fantasy assets. |
| April 28, 2007 Orioles manager Sam Perlozzo said he likely will use Miguel Tejada as the designated hitter at times this season to give the shortstop a break, but he has no intention of sitting Tejada out of a game, according to the Baltimore Sun. Tejada has now played in 1,103 straight contests. |
