FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Orioles brought their starting outfield to Hammond Stadium for today’s game against the Twins, though Cedric Mullins is the designated hitter.

Austin Hays is in left field and batting cleanup. Colton Cowser is in center field and Anthony Santander is in right.

Jordan Westburg gets the start at shortstop. Ramón Urías is the third baseman and Nick Maton is at second.

Maverick Handley is catching Dean Kremer, who’s making his 2024 spring debut.

Infielders Coby Mayo and Errol Robinson and outfielders Daniel Johnson, Dontá Williams, John Rhodes and Billy Cook made the trip.

The relievers include Bryan Baker, Jonathan Heasley, Wandisson Charles, Albert Suárez, Luis González, Dan Hammer, Ryan Watson, Yaqui Rivera, Trey McGough, Kyle Virbitsky and Morgan McSweeney.

Tyler Wells starts Friday against the Braves in North Port and Cole Irvin starts Saturday against the Yankees in Sarasota.

An industry source confirmed the agreement.
