DUNEDIN, Fla. – The Orioles aren’t bringing many projected starters to Dunedin for today’s game against the Blue Jays at TD Ballpark.

Kyle Stowers is in left field and batting second behind Terrin Vavra. Ryan McKenna is in center field, with Cedric Mullins anticipated to rejoin the club Thursday after playing in the World Baseball Classic.

Jordan Westburg is the starting shortstop and Anthony Bemboom is catching Dean Kremer.

The three left-handed hitters competing for the backup job at first base are on the trip. Franchy Cordero is at first, Ryan O’Hearn is batting cleanup and serving as the designated hitter, and Josh Lester is the third baseman.

Other players in Dunedin include relievers Bryan Baker, Mike Baumann, Andrew Politi and Yennier Canó, outfielders Colton Cowser and Heston Kjerstad, and shortstop Jackson Holliday.
