Roberts to play three in a row at second base
Brian Roberts - 2B - Baltimore Orioles
March 19, 2013 - 1:45 PM ET

Brian Roberts is slated to start three straight games at second base for the first time this spring.

He'll play the first of the three games Tuesday afternoon, as the Orioles prepare him for the start of the regular season. Roberts, 35, is hitting .359 (14-for-39) with one home run, four doubles and a .972 OPS in 12 games this spring and could provide a huge boost to Baltimore's lineup if he can stay on the field. Of course, given his recent history, he can't be counted on.
