BALTIMORE -- Third baseman Tim Beckham was in the Orioles' clubhouse on Friday, a day removed from core surgery and optimistic that he'd back at full strength and ready to help the club as soon as possible.
"I'm not going to put a timetable on it, but hopefully I'll be in extended spring training or a Minor League game six weeks from now," said Beckham, whose surgery on Thursday was performed by Dr. Will Meyers in Philadelphia. "I'm just going to go about my rehab 100 percent. I've been through worse, I've been through ACL surgery and that was a lot longer.
