SARASOTA, Fla. - Nolan Reimold is starting in left field and batting leadoff today against the New York Yankees. Reimold also played yesterday in Dunedin, going 0-for-3. Brian Roberts moves down to second in the order. Nick Markakis will be the designated hitter again, with Conor Jackson getting the start in right field. Manager Buck Showalter has plenty of outfield candidates, and he's using these early games to critique them. For the Orioles: Nolan Reimold LF Brian Roberts 2B Nick Markakis DH Adam Jones CF Matt Wieters C J.J. Hardy SS Chris Davis 1B Conor Jackson RF Manny Machado 3B Brian Matusz LHP For the Yankees: Brett Gardner CF Jayson Nix 2B Matt Diaz DH Juan Rivera RF Francisco Cervelli C Melky Mesa LF Dan Johnson 3B Gil Velazquez SS Kyle Roller 1B Vidal Nuno LHP Notes: Miguel Gonzalez said he will throw batting practice on Tuesday, but he won't make his 2013 Grapefruit League debut until March 3. He could pitch at Twin Lakes Park before that date. Tsuyoshi Wada is scheduled to throw off a regular mound today after three sessions off a half mound last week.
