"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baltimore Orioles manager Buck Showalter announced that Matt Wieters will not catch for the next week because of tendinitis in his elbow, Eduardo A. Encina of &lt;em&gt;The Baltimore Sun&lt;/em&gt; reports.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wieters, 28, had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow last June and caught his first spring training game on Tuesday.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Showalter said the team doesn\u2019t know if Wieters will be ready to start at catcher in the team\u2019s home opener next month.\r\n\r\n\"It\u2019s still a distinct possibility, but if [he's not ready]&amp;nbsp;then, shortly thereafter,\"&amp;nbsp;Showalter said Wednesday. \"I don\u2019t think we are at a point yet [to know]. We\u2019ll see how the tendinitis manages.\"\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;Rays\u2019 Alex Cobb (forearm tendinitis) to miss Opening Day&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Wieters was limited to 26 games last season, but he was still named to his third All-Star team. During his last full season in 2013, he batted .235 with 22 home runs and 79 RBIs.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Without Wieters last season, Caleb Joseph became the team\u2019s starting catcher. In 82 games, he had nine home runs and 28 RBIs while batting .207.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Baltimore reached the ALCS last season before being swept by Kansas City. The Orioles open the season on April 6 at the Tampa Bay Rays.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;Report: Phillies willing to eat $50 million in Ryan Howard trade&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;- Paul Palladino&lt;/i&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
