Felix Pie is in the lineup for Friday's game as the Orioles' left fielder.

Pie missed games Saturday and Sunday with a strained left quad. Unlike Matt Wieters, he was able to avoid the disabled list.

Felix Pie was diagnosed with a left quad strain.

Like Matt Wieters, Pie will be re-evaluated on Saturday. If the injury is serious enough to warrant a DL stint, Josh Bell could avoid a trip back to Norfolk.

Felix Pie left Friday's game against the Rangers in the sixth inning with an apparent leg injury.

The hits just keep on coming. Pie limped off the field after grounding out in the top of the sixth inning. He was replaced in the lineup by Jake Fox.

Felix Pie homered and finished with two RBI in the Orioles' 6-4 defeat of the Rangers Thursday night in Texas.

Pie was activated from the disabled list on Tuesday and has not gone without a hit in the three games that he has played since. The outfielder should see regular playing time over the second half of the season and is worth monitoring in AL-only leagues. He's batting .364 in 33 total at-bats.

Felix Pie (back) is aiming to return to the Orioles on Tuesday.

Pie has been rehabbing with Double-A Bowie since late June and went 0-for-3 with a walk on Friday. The outfielder was 8-for-20 before getting injured. He will probably be eased back into major league action.

Felix Pie (back) is expected to be activated from the disabled list on Monday.

Pie was actually in the Orioles' clubhouse on Thursday, but the team opted to fill Luke Scott's roster spot with top prospect Josh Bell. Pie will re-join Double-A Bowie before making the trip to Detroit on Sunday.

Felix Pie (back) expects to be activated from the disabled list on Friday.

"I feel good, no pain," Pie told MLB.com in a phone interview. "Right now, the hardest thing is seeing pitches [at the plate]. But that will come with more and more [at-bats]." Pie is scheduled to play with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday and Wednesday before being re-evaluated.

Felix Pie (back) continued his rehab assignment with Single-A Frederick on Thursday and went 2-for-4 with an RBI.

Pie was 1-for-8 over two games with the GCL Orioles earlier this week. The Orioles have limited him to designated hitter duty because they don't want him to re-injure himself by throwing. He'll likely move to Double-A Bowie from here, with a possible return from the disabled list next week.

Felix Pie (back) was 1-for-4 with a run scored and two strikeouts in his second minor league rehab game with the GCL Orioles on Tuesday.

Pie was the designated hitter for a second straight day. He is expected to play one more game with the GCL club before reporting to Single-A Frederick. The Orioles hope he can return from the disabled around the beginning of July.

Felix Pie (back) was 0-for-4 in his first minor league rehab game with the GCL Orioles on Monday.

Pie grounded out to second base, third base and shortstop, and also reached on an error. He was pulled for a pinch-hitter with two outs and a runner on second base in the bottom of the ninth inning, but that's only because he was only scheduled to get four at-bats. He's expected to return from the disabled list by the end of the month, give or take a few days.

Felix Pie (back) will begin playing in minor league rehab games Monday for the Gulf Coast Orioles.

Pie is expected to spend three days in the Gulf Coast League before moving on for around seven games at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk. The outfielder has been on the disabled list since the middle of April due to an injury to the latissimus dorsi muscle in his back.

Orioles president Andy MacPhail said that Felix Pie (back) could return from the disabled list by the end of June.

Yet another Orioles' player on the comeback trail, Pie is currently at extended spring training in Sarasota, but we should expect him to embark on a rehab assignment soon enough. He has been sidelined since mid-April due to an injury to the latissimus dorsi muscle in his back.

Felix Pie (back) has begun hitting off a tee.

Pie has been throwing without pain or discomfort for a few days and should be able to progress to batting practice in about two weeks. He's on the 60-day disabled list with a back muscle strain and is not expected to return before the end of June. Pie was 8-for-20 before getting injured.

Felix Pie (back) has begun various exercises designed to strengthen the muscles in his back.

Pie will continue the exercises for two weeks before being cleared to start hitting and throwing. "I feel great, but the trainers and doctors say I have to wait," said Pie. "The decision will be up to them and the manager, but I feel great." Pie was batting .400 (8-for-20) before going on the disabled list with an injury to the latissimus dorsi muscle in his back on April 16. It sounds optimistic right now, but Pie is currently aiming to return by June 20.

Orioles transferred OF Felix Pie from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.

Felix Pie (back) will begin his rehab at extended spring training on Thursday.

Pie will avoid surgery, however he is expected to miss up to three months with the injury to his latissimus dorsi muscle. He has only been cleared to run at this point, but hopes to progress to light exercises shortly.

Felix Pie could miss up to three months with an injury to the latissimus dorsi muscle in his back.

Pie was placed on the disabled list with a strained muscle in his upper back last week, but further examination on Monday uncovered a more serious injury. There's been no talk of surgery, so it appears Pie will rehab the injury. "Left alone, I'm told - and they have significant medial information on this - the thing will heal itself as quickly or more quickly than if you did something on a surgical basis," said Orioles president Andy MacPhail. "But it's going to take some time to go through the process that it has to go through." Lou Montanez, who was called up from the minors last week, will likely share playing time in left field with Nolan Reimold and Luke Scott moving forward.

Orioles placed OF Felix Pie on the 15-day disabled list with an upper back muscle strain.

Pie suffered re-injured himself during Thursday night's game. He's slated to get an MRI on his shoulder on Monday. It's too bad, as Pie was off to a pretty good start, batting .400 (8-for-20) with one home run, two doubles and four runs scored.

Felix Pie re-injured his shoulder during Thursday night's game.

He was replaced in left field by Nolan Reimold, who should rack up a nice set of consecutive starts this weekend. Whether Pie's injury is deemed serious or not, there's clearly something wrong. He'll be reevaluated Friday.

Felix Pie was 2-for-3 with a leadoff home run and a walk in a loss to the Rays on Monday night.

He also made a very nice throw to nail Jason Bartlett at home plate during the third inning. Pie hasn't shown great plate discipline, but he'll probably draw plenty out at-bats at the top of the order with Brian Roberts on the shelf.
