BALTIMORE -- A week after being hit by a pitch on his right foot, catcher Matt Wieters returned to the Orioles' lineup for their series opener against the Rockies on Monday. Caleb Joseph had started the past six games behind the plate.
Wieters said he knew when the injury first happened it was more than just a bruise, but he was still surprised he was out for a week.
"It's got better each day," Wieters said. "Moving around on it is no problem now. That was kind of the thing we were waiting for, was kind of being able to run and really just walk without any kind of hindrance.
