While the Baltimore Orioles say they plan to keep Brian Roberts around, the Los Angeles Angels aren’t sure if Kelvim Escobar will be back at all this season.

Orioles president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said Wednesday he’s not close to completing a deal that would send Roberts to the Chicago Cubs, and the two-time All-Star likely will begin the season as Baltimore’s second baseman.

Escobar, an 18-game winner for the Angels last season, told reporters he has a tear in his pitching shoulder and might need surgery. The team hadn’t confirmed that diagnosis by the end of Wednesday’s 7-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs.
