Pitchers Spenser Watkins and Alexander Wells are in the Orioles clubhouse this morning and will be part of the team’s home opener against the Brewers.

Outfielder DJ Stewart was optioned yesterday to Triple-A Norfolk and Dean Kremer is expected to go on the injured list with a strained left oblique.

Austin Hays is in left field and prepared to be introduced to the taller fence and dimensions, which Trey Mancini described as “jaw-dropping.”

Mancini is the cleanup hitter today. Anthony Santander is batting third and playing right field.

Jorge Mateo gets his fourth start at shortstop.

Baltimore native Bruce Zimmermann has the honor of starting the first home game.
