Orioles' Ryan Flaherty: Expected to return Monday

Flaherty (shoulder) is expected to return to the lineup Monday against the Red Sox, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxOnline.com reports.

The veteran utility man received a cortisone shot in his ailing shoulder Monday, but the Orioles are expecting him to return to game action in the near future. Flaherty has gone just 3-for-25 this spring, but his defensive versatility helps his chances at cracking the Orioles' Opening Day roster.
