ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – Mark Trumbo is batting fifth and playing right field while riding a nine-game hitting streak. Manny Machado is batting second and moves back to third base. His 16-game hitting streak came to an end in yesterday’s finale in Kansas City.

J.J. Hardy returns to the starting lineup after yesterday’s off-day, batting seventh and playing shortstop.

Kevin Gausman is set to come off the disabled list and make his 2016 debut. The Orioles have not yet announced a corresponding roster move for Gausman, but left-hander T.J. McFarland and right-handers Mychal Givens and Vance Worley are still listed in the bullpen right now.
