Steve Pearce is starting in left field tonight in the Orioles' series opener against the Athletics at Camden Yards. Nelson Cruz remains the designated hitter. Nick Hundley gets the start against A's left-hander Tommy Milone despite his odd splits. For the Orioles Nick Markakis RF Manny Machado 3B Nelson Cruz DH Adam Jones CF Chris Davis 1B J.J. Hardy SS Steve Pearce LF Jonathan Schoop 2B Nick Hundley C Wei-Yin Chen LHP Update: Right-hander Kevin Gausman is in the Orioles clubhouse, but has not yet been recalled. He isn't expected to be activated today, but figures to be added to the 25-man roster and make Saturday's start if Miguel Gonzalez goes on the disabled list. Also, I've heard from a few people that left-hander Johan Santana left his extended spring training start today with an injury, but not to his shoulder. His shoulder is fine. Santana was hit by a line drive and I'm waiting to get more details. Manager Buck Showalter should have an update.
