Westburg could miss the first few Grapefruit League games after suffering a strained right oblique in late January, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Oblique injuries have a tendency to linger, so the Orioles will proceed cautiously with the infielder so he doesn't suffer a setback. Westburg is projected to be the team's everyday third baseman this season, though he could fill in at second base while Jackson Holliday (hand) is sidelined to begin the campaign.
