RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (sore right calf) came out of his start against Oakland Friday night with one out after getting hit by a comebacker on his right calf, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter said he expects him to make his next start. "He'll be fine," Showalter said. "The biggest problem he had, that's the same place he got hit in Minnesota (on July 9). I was talking after the inning in here. The worst thing was it's the exact same spot that's been sore since Minnesota, which was a reminder to me of how many things guys play with and play through, that they just don't even bring up after a game."

After being examined by a trainer, Jimenez limped off the field to the dugout with a 4-3 lead. "It's good," Jimenez said of his leg. "I was lucky it didn't get any bones or anything. Got me in the side of the calf. It got me in the same spot where I got hit in Minnesota the last day before the All-Star break so it wasn't 100 percent pain-free yet. It got me in the same spot."
