Orioles third baseman Manny Machado is out of the lineup today for a second consecutive game due to a strained right groin. J.J. Hardy is batting second today. Jonathan Schoop moves down to ninth. David Lough is on the bench. Nelson Cruz gets the start in left field while Delmon Young serves as the designated hitter. For the Orioles Nick Markakis RF J.J. Hardy SS Adam Jones CF Chris Davis 1B Nelson Cruz LF Steve Clevenger C Delmon Young DH Ryan Flaherty 3B Jonathan Schoop 2B Ubaldo Jimenez RHP For the Indians Michael Bourn CF Mike Aviles 2B Michael Brantley LF Lonnie Chisenhall 3B Ryan Raburn DH David Murphy RF Carlos Santana 1B Yan Gomes C Justin Sellers SS Corey Kluber RHP Reliever Preston Guilmet is still here despite being optioned yesterday, perhaps an indication that he will be added to the roster on Sunday when Davis goes on paternity leave. Down in Sarasota, Nolan Reimold played in his first extended spring training game yesterday. He homered, flew out, grounded out and doubled. The fly ball most likely would have been another home run if not for the wind.
