The Orioles will activate first baseman Chris Davis from the disabled list before today's game against the Astros. He's in the lineup batting third. Five reserves are listed on the lineup card, so we're waiting for a corresponding roster move. David Lough is in left field. Steve Clevenger is catching again today and Nelson Cruz is at designated hitter. No Matt Wieters, who's one of the listed reserves. For the Orioles Nick Markakis RF Manny Machado 3B Chris Davis 1B Adam Jones CF Nelson Cruz DH Steve Clevenger C J.J. Hardy SS Ryan Flaherty 2B David Lough LF Chris Tillman RHP For the Astros Jose Altuve 2B Dexter Fowler CF Jason Castro DH Matt Dominguez 3B Marc Krauss 1B George Springer RF Alex Presley LF Carlos Corporan C Jonathan Villar SS Jarred Cosart RHP Johan Santana threw 51 pitches over 2 1/3 innings yesterday in his second extended spring training start.
