Orioles lineup against Pirates and injury notes (updated)

SARASOTA, Fla. - Xavier Avery gets the start in center field tonight, as the Orioles travel to Bradenton to play the Pittsburgh Pirates. Wilson Betemit will start at third base, with Manny Machado skipping the trip. For the Orioles: Alexi Casilla SS Ryan Flaherty 2B Wilson Betemit 3B Jason Pridie DH Travis Ishikawa 1B Trayvon Robinson LF Chris Dickerson RF Jose Gil C Xavier Avery CF Wei-Yin Chen LHP Brian Matusz, Tommy Hunter, Troy Patton and Daniel Schlereth also are scheduled to pitch. The bench will include Russ Canzler, Niuman Romero, Luis Exposito, Lew Ford, LJ Hoes, Yamaico Navarro, Steve Pearce and Danny Valencia. Machado is back in camp after leaving yesterday to have a root canal. The procedure lasted about 90 minutes and he feels fine. He will work out today. Nick Markakis said his neck is feeling better and the stiffness is "slowly moving out," but he can't say for sure that he will return to the lineup Sunday. That's the plan, but it's subject to change. "I'm just taking it one day at a time," he said, adding that he's not worried about his neck. Catcher Taylor Teagarden (lower back) will take batting practice and catch bullpen sessions again today, and he's getting close to playing. For the Pirates: Sterling Marte CF Jose Tabata LF Neil Walker 2B Pedro Alvarez 3B Gaby Sanchez 1B Brandon Inge DH Jerry Sands RF Michael McKenry C Clint Barmes SS Kyle McPherson RHP
