Phillies manager Charlie Manuel told Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer that Jim Thome still hopes to continue his career.
"He still thinks he can play," said Manuel. "He misses the game. Baseball is his identity. That’s all he’s done for 20-some years or so. He's kind of having a hard time adjusting." The 42-year-old wasn't able to find the right fit this winter, but he's currently training in Arizona in hopes of latching on with a team at some point this season. We wouldn't rule out the chance that he'll surface with an American League club as a part-time DH or bench bat. He currently ranks seventh all-time with 612 home runs.

Lavelle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune writes that the chances of the Twins signing Jim Thome are "very slim."
"I would doubt there would be any outside solutions,’’ manager Ron Gardenhire said of adding someone to the team's bench. Gardy reportedly would like the club to bring in Thome, but the higher-ups don't appear to have interest in making it happen. Thome, 42, is interested in continuing his career, but it looks like he'll start the season without a team.

Darren Wolfson of 1500ESPN.com reports that Twins manager Ron Gardenhire wants the club to sign Jim Thome.
Wolfson says there's "mutual interest," but the holdup could be that Thome is insisting on a major league deal. The Twins already have a few players capable of shifting back-and-forth between DH, first base and corner outfield duties, so there probably wouldn't be a ton of at-bats available for the 42-year-old. Thome is sitting on 612 career homers but isn't ready to call it a career just yet.

FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that the Indians are no longer pursuing veteran slugger Jim Thome.
The Indians considered the possibility, but they don't one to commit the roster spot to one player. Thome, 42, is working out in hopes of playing his 23rd season in the majors. He's currently sitting on 612 career homers, which is seventh on the all-time list.

Brian Roberts (knee, hamstring) began doing sprints Tuesday.
Roberts has been hitting for a little while now, but he'll need to run without restrictions before being cleared to return to game action. As of now, he's hoping to begin a rehab assignment after the Orioles' roadtrip ends on Sunday.

Nolan Reimold

Nolan Reimold (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Bowie.
Reimold has been sidelined for just over a month due to a straight right hamstring, but he's finally ready to return to game action. The 29-year-old should rejoin the Orioles' lineup by the end of the month.

Jason Hammel
Sidelined
Orioles manager Buck Showalter said that Jason Hammel (illness) is unlikely to start Tuesday against the Tigers.
Hammel was scratched from his start on Monday due to a stomach virus and is still getting his strength back. While Jake Arrieta is filling in on Monday, the Orioles could call up Zach Britton to start on Tuesday. Hammel is likely to be pushed back to Friday.

Wei-Yin Chen
D.L.
Wei-Yin Chen (oblique) could be ready to return from the disabled list in early July.
Chen, out since May 27 with a right oblique strain, threw off a full mound Monday and is scheduled to pitch a simulated game Thursday. The Orioles will likely want him to make at least one rehab start before coming off the disabled list.

Orioles placed RHP Miguel Gonzalez on the paternity leave list.
Gonzalez can remain on the paternity leave list for 24 to 72 hours. Travis Ishikawa will take his place on the active roster.

Orioles placed RHP Steve Johnson on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left oblique.
Johnson will need at least three weeks of recovery time. He suffered the injury Wednesday night during a relief appearance against the Astros and will leave behind an 8.49 ERA. The Orioles have recalled outfielder Xavier Avery to fill the vacant roster spot.
