The Orioles broke camp with their bullpen apparently set, but they made a late change this afternoon.
Nick Vespi has been recalled from Triple-A Norfolk, giving the club a fourth left-hander, and Jacob Webb went on the paternity list. Webb can be gone for three days.
The 40-man roster is down to 38 players with outfielder Ryan McKenna and infielder/outfielder Tyler Nevin designated for assignment.
Kyle Bradish (right UCL sprain) and John Means (left forearm strain) are on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Monday.
Catcher Michael Pérez is on the taxi squad.
Jordan Westburg is serving as the Orioles’ designated hitter this afternoon in a mainly right-handed lineup for Opening Day against the Angels.
Gunnar Henderson is leading off, followed by Adley Rutschman.
Cedric Mullins is batting seventh.
Ramón Urías is the third baseman and Jorge Mateo is starting at second.

Tony Kemp has made the club, as expected.
“Tony’s been in the big leagues for a while,” said manager Brandon Hyde. “Played multiple positions. Both corners, plays second base. Another left-handed bat. I think that’s important. A guy that can run a little bit. Just being able to move him around the field, be able to pinch-hit, pinch-run, maybe some spot starts.”
