Orioles' Jordan Westburg: Back with team, activation imminent
Jordan Westburg (ankle) joined the Baltimore Orioles in Chicago on Monday and will be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.Though the Orioles didn't reinstate him prior to Monday's series opener in Chicago, Westburg is likely just getting a day to rest after he went 2-for-5 with two home runs in his final rehab game for Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.
