Orioles' Cesar Izturis Has Appendicitis
Before Orioles manager Dave Trembley knew the extent of Izturis' condition, he said his loss would be a big one.
"It goes without saying that if we lose a guy like Izturis for any length of time, it would be a major blow to this team," Trembley said.
Robert Andino started at shortstop on Friday night.
Trembley said Izturis began feeling uncomfortable during the off day on Thursday. He was taken to the hospital for tests shortly after arriving at the ballpark on Friday afternoon.
