Jair Jurrjens is set to make his Orioles debut for today's 4:05 p.m. start vs. the Rays. After hitting a three-run home run in last night's game, Chris Dickerson will get another start. He'll DH, batting eighth. Yamaico Navarro will get his second consecutive start at second, batting ninth. He went 2-4 with a triple and a run yesterday.

He will meet up with the team in Durham. In two appearances with the Orioles, Burnett pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up four hits, three runs and two walks with two strikeouts. Update II: Jake Arrieta is in Baltimore, and will be the Orioles' extra bullpen arm. Brian Roberts has been moved to the 60-day disabled list, and Nolan Reimold has been placed on the DL with a right hamstring strain, retroactive to Sunday.
