August 18, 2004 Brian Roberts was forced out of last night's game in the seventh inning when he fouled a ball of his right shin, according to the Baltimore Sun. "It's sore," Roberts said last night, "but I'll be ready tomorrow." |

July 30, 2004 Orioles manager Lee Mazilli told the Baltimore Sun that it was safe to assume that Jerry Hairston would start to get more playing time at second base if the team fails to trade either Brian Roberts or Hairston. Hairston has seen a lot of time in the outfield, and if he moves back to second base on a more regular basis, Roberts would likely be on the bench or perhaps the DH. |

|
March 1, 2004 Brian Roberts is being given the opportunity this spring to beat out Jerry Hairston to win the starting role at second base for the Orioles, according to the Baltimore Sun. Roberts has missed the last three days of practice with back spasms and probably will miss a few more days. |
