Luke Scott was supposed to play tonight, but he's dealing with flu-like symptoms and is taking antibiotics.
"It was a 50-50 thing the other day for him to play," manager Dave Trembley said.
Nolan Reimold is serving as the designated hitter for three reasons: Scott's sick, Reimold is a little banged up - he walked past me a few days ago with ice wrapped on his knee and ankle - and Trembley wants to give Felix Pie some starts in left.
"I do consider the issues with him and the leg," Trembley said. "He'll be another guy who's going to play all the way through September, and he's never done that.
"During this series, I wanted to DH Reimold at least once and I wanted to get Pie out there."
Trembley noted that Reimold is better at going back on the ball, especially to his glove side, and has improved his throwing accuracy, but he still plays too deep on occasion.
Orioles infielders haven't committed a fielding (non-throwing) error in 25 games spanning 215 1/3 innings.
