Still waiting on the Orioles' roster move for Miguel Gonzalez's activation tonight.
The lineup is pretty standard for the series opener in Toronto. Ryan Flaherty is at second and Danny Valencia is batting ninth as the designated hitter against R.A. Dickey.
On another note, the July 7 game against the Yankees in the Bronx will air on TBS beginning at 1 p.m.

Update: The lineup card posted in the visiting clubhouse at Rogers Centre doesn't include Steve Pearce among the reserves. Travis Ishikawa is listed.
Pearce would have to be designated for assignment to come off the 25-man roster. The move would leave the Orioles without a right-handed hitting backup outfielder, though Valencia played one game in right and one in left with Triple-A Norfolk before being recalled.
Nolan Reimold is expected to come off the disabled list after the road trip. At that point, the Orioles will have to make another decision regarding Ishikawa.
