Basallo Exits Spring Game With Abdominal Discomfort; Day-to-Day

Samuel Basallo of the Baltimore Orioles was removed from Thursday's spring training game due to right-side abdominal discomfort after a tag play at home plate. Manager Craig Albernaz stated the removal was precautionary, and Basallo is not expected to undergo further testing, now considered day-to-day. The team is not calling it a strain and felt no need to push him early in spring training, avoiding a serious injury.
