BRADENTON, Fla. – Bryan Baker and Mike Baumann will make their spring debuts today behind starter Kyle Bradish, as the Orioles travel to Bradenton to play the Pirates.

The lineup is thick with young infield talent.

Gunnar Henderson is making his first appearance, starting at third base. He had a sore wrist that pushed back his debut.

Joey Ortiz is the shortstop and Jordan Westburg is starting at second base.

Terrin Vavra, who’s 4-for-6 with four RBIs in two games, is the left fielder and leadoff hitter. Adley Rutschman is catching for the first time.

Franchy Cordero is the first baseman.

X-rays on Anthony Santander’s left knee came back negative and he’s expected to play Wednesday in Sarasota.
