Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts will have the sutures removed from his leg Monday, MASNSports.com reports Sunday. 

Roberts, who was moved to the 60-day disabled list over the weekend, was supposed to have the sutures removed Friday, but the leg wasn't fully healed. 

The Orioles pushed second baseman Brian Roberts (hamstring) to the 60-day disabled list, MLB.com reports Saturday.

Roberts' move creates roster space for Jair Jurrjens to be added to the 40-man roster. Jurrjens is starting Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts, fresh off surgery last Thursday to repair a ruptured tendon in the back of his right knee, has begun riding the stationary bike down at Baltimore's spring training complex, the Baltimore Sun reports Tuesday. 

Roberts is expected to be on the shelf for at least the next six weeks rehabbing his injury. 

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said second baseman Brian Roberts had successful surgery on his hamstring Thursday. He will fly to Sarasota, Fla., Friday.

Roberts is expected to miss six weeks while recovering from surgery.

Although veteran second baseman Brian Roberts will miss six more weeks as he opts for surgery on his right hamstring, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Wednesday he's optimistic Roberts will be able to contribute this season.

"Hopefully he'll make the time period and be able to pick up where he left off and not have that in the back of his mind," Showalter said, per The Baltimore Sun. "I know what his goals are. He's very frustrated by it, as we are, but Brian Roberts is going to come back and make a contribution to this club this year. I've got a good feeling about that."
