Orioles left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada came out of this second live game spring start confident that the elbow problems that have hindered his bid for a starting rotation spot have subsided. Wada threw 47 pitches in three extended innings (10 outs) in a minor-league game against the Red Sox's Double-A team at Twin Lakes Park on Thursday afternoon. Asked after his outing if he was confident the left elbow discomfort that crept up in the second week of camp is a thing of the past, the Japanese-born Wada, who speaks to the media through an interpreter, didn't need any help to give his message.

Washington Nationals closer Drew Storen will visit renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews today for a second opinion on his right elbow, manager Davey Johnson said. Storen will almost certainly not need Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery, a typical fear when players visit Andrews. But depending on the results of Andrews' examination, Storen could miss at least half the season because of a "loose body" in his elbow and the surgery that would be required to remove it. Storen, 24, felt tenderness in his elbow Sunday while throwing a simulated game, particularly when he threw fastballs.

Orioles right-hander Chris Tillman left Sunday afternoon's series finale against the Yankees after three innings with tightness in his right elbow. Tillman, who entered Sunday's start having won six of his past seven decisions, had retired four straight Yankees hitters. He allowed a two-run homer to center fielder Chris Dickerson, who was making his first start of the season in relief of the injured Curtis Granderson. Tillman battled his control early, issuing two walks and a pair of wild pitches in his first two innings of work.

Orioles left-hander Randy Wolf has been shelved with left elbow discomfort, manager Buck Showalter said Monday. The 36-year-old Wolf, signed Aug. 31, is scheduled to have an MRI performed on the elbow Tuesday morning. An anti-inflammatory injection could follow. He was evalualted by Orioles team orthopedist Dr. John Wilckens before Monday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays. Showalter said Wolf began feeling discomfort toward the end of his spot start Saturday in Boston. Wolf appeared to labor late in his outing at Fenway Park, where he went five innings and allowed three runs on seven hits.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - It's unclear whether there's any real cause for alarm, but the Orioles are taking no chances with pitcher Rich Hill and his sore left elbow. Though X-rays on the elbow revealed no structural problem, the left-hander was sent for a magnetic resonance imaging before yesterday's game to rule out any possibility that his arm soreness is the result of a significant injury. "He's getting the whole kit and caboodle," manager Dave Trembley said. The news was pretty good.
