Sarasota, Fla. – The Orioles’ lineup for today’s game against the Phillies has a unique look to it.
Anthony Santander gets the start at first base, a position he hasn’t played since A ball in Cleveland’s organization.
Manager Brandon Hyde indicated that Santander might log some innings there later in camp but decided to do it now, saying he doesn’t know how long his outfielder will be away with Team Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic.
Santander leaves today for Miami.
Jorge Mateo is leading off. Adley Rutschman is catching left-hander Cole Irvin.
Austin Hays moves to center field with Cedric Mullins flying today to Phoenix to join Team USA. Kyle Stowers is in left.
Today’s game airs on MASN.
