MASN's Roch Kubatko reports that Baltimore Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo (elbow) will not be ready for Opening Day this year. Mateo had UCL reconstruction on his left (non-throwing) elbow last year and will not be ready in time when regular-season games kick off at the end of March.

The Opening Day roster for the Orioles isn’t going to include infielder Jorge Mateo. The fastest player in camp made a speedy exit from it.On the first workout day, executive vice president/general manager Mike Elias confirmed that Mateo is making progress but probably won’t get enough at-bats to be ready on March 27 in Toronto.
