Orioles catcher Matt Wieters is behind the plate on back-to-back nights for the first time since undergoing ligament-reconstructive surgery on his right elbow.

Wieters has been resting or serving as the designated hitter on the nights after catching since he returned from the disabled list.

Ryan Flaherty gets the start at second base tonight as the Orioles continue their series against the Twins at Target Field.

Jonathan Schoop is on the bench after going 2-for-9 with a home run and two RBIs in two games since coming off the disabled list.

Chris Parmelee starts at first base tonight. He's 2-for-25 in his last eight games with an at-bat.
