| Player Notes |
| December 18, 2007 After being named in the Mitchell Report last week, Brian Roberts admitted using steroids once in 2003, according to the AP. "In 2003, when I took one shot of steroids, I immediately realized that this was not what I stood for or anything that I wanted to continue doing," Roberts said in a statement. "I never used steroids, human growth hormone or any other performance-enhancing drugs prior to or since that single incident. I can honestly say before God, myself, my family and all of my fans that steroids or any performance-enhancing drugs have never had any effect on what I have worked so hard to accomplish in the game of baseball. I am very sorry and I deeply regret ever making that terrible decision." |
| December 13, 2007 Brian Roberts was named in the Mitchell Report on Thursday. Former teammate Larry Bigbie stated that Roberts admitted to using steroids back in 2003. |
| December 6, 2007 A deal still is not imminent, but the Cubs have continued their pursuit of Brian Roberts, according to the Baltimore Sun. Two players mentioned in a possible deal are Sean Gallagher and Matt Murton. In the event the O's trade Roberts, they would likely try to sign free agent Tadahito Iguchi to play second base. |
| December 4, 2007 The Cubs have expressed in interest in Brian Roberts but talks haven't progressed very far, according to the Baltimore Sun. It's unlikely a deal will get done here, but the Cubs are obviously looking to shore up their middle infield that includes Mark DeRosa and Ryan Theriot. |
| September 12, 2007 Brian Roberts remained in the lineup Tuesday, but he'll undergo an MRI Wednesday because of an earache, the Baltimore Sun reports. |
| June 13, 2007 Despite the fact that Brian Roberts stole two bases last Saturday, his right hamstring is still bothering him, according to the Baltimore Sun. Asked why he had two steal attempts over the weekend after he vowed to shut it down until his leg felt better, he said, "Sometimes, I just say, '[Forget it]'" Roberts said. "It got to the point where I got sick of waiting around." |
| June 6, 2007 Brian Roberts will get Wednesday off because he is dealing with a sore right hamstring, according to the Baltimore Sun. With Thursday being an off-day, Roberts will now get two full days to rest his hamstring. Hopefully that means he will start stealing bases again. |
| June 4, 2007 Brian Roberts has 19 steals this season, but none in the past six games. Apparently, he's been dealing with a sore right hamstring for a couple of weeks and has been being cautious on the basepaths recently as a result, according to the Baltimore Sun. "[I'm] just trying to protect it a little bit - just don't want it to get worse," said Roberts, who is expected to sit out Wednesday's game and take advantage of Thursday's off-day to rest. Since he's continued to play, it doesn't sound serious at this point, so hopefully rest and caution will clear up the problem quickly. |
| May 16, 2007 Brian Roberts singled on Tuesday night to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. |
| April 23, 2007 Brian Roberts returned to action Monday after missing two games due to the flu. He looked great, as he was 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI. |
| April 23, 2007 Brian Roberts is holding out hope that he'll be able to return to action tonight after missing two games due to the flu, according to the Baltimore Sun. "I hope so, yeah," he said yesterday. " At this point, I really don't have anything in me. I'm just weak. I still have some symptoms, so I'll try to get it out and let somebody healthy play." |
| April 22, 2007 Brian Roberts missed his second straight game Sunday due to the flu, according to the AP. It's not clear when Roberts will be able to return to action. |
| April 22, 2007 Brian Roberts missed last night's game due to flu symptoms, according to the Baltimore Sun. "We'll try to keep him away from our guys," manager Sam Perlozzo said. It's not clear if Roberts will return to action today. |

| March 6, 2007 Brian Roberts and the Orioles are very close on a two-year extension, according to the Baltimore Sun. The deal is thought to be worth $13-14 million.

| March 5, 2007 Brian Roberts is seeking a long-term contract, according to the AP. Roberts, who will be a free agent after the 2007 season, would like a new contract before opening day, but he has not put a deadline on negotiations. "It's just that we'd like it not to be a distraction to Brian, so the sooner we can decide whether we're doing this, the better," agent Mark Pieper said. |
| February 1, 2007 Brian Roberts signed a one-year, $4.2 million deal with Orioles Thursday, according to the AP. The O's are still expected to try and work out a long-term deal with Roberts, but they went ahead and signed him now to avoid arbitration. |
