Former Orioles infielder Steve Lombardozzi is leading off for the Pirates in the B game at 10 a.m. in Sarasota, and he’s listed as a reserve for the game in Bradenton.

Orioles reliever Ryan Webb has played catch the past two days and will throw a bullpen session today. His left knee feels good and he expects to pitch in a game within the next few days.

Infielder Paul Janish will serve as a designated hitter again today in the B game. He moved back to 120 feet yesterday in his throwing program and will start making throws across the infield. He still hopes to make his Grapefruit League debut on March 20 or 21.

Matt Wieters will catch again today in the B game, his first back-to-back games behind the plate.

The Pirates requested the game, so it’s assumed that they won’t attempt to steal while Wieters is catching.
