Machado not in Game 1 lineup, Lombardozzi not listed among reserves
By Roch Kubatko
Orioles third baseman Manny Machado isn't starting Game 1 of today's doubleheader against the Pirates at Camden Yards. He's listed among the reserves, with Ryan Flaherty starting at third.
Infielder Steve Lombardozzi isn't listed among the Orioles reserves. He's apparently been optioned to Triple-A Norfolk to make room for Machado on the 25-man roster.
Lombardozzi said he's not injured and wouldn't comment further.
Jemile Weeks is leading off again today. Steve Pearce is playing first base.
