OSFM: Baltimore Orioles

[zkiesel]

Orioles put Tavarez on waivers. Better chance now that Mancini makes the roster. I still think they'll go with an extra bench guy (and a 4-man rotation) until they need a 5th starter on April 15th.

Opening Day Roster has been set.

Note: Trumbo will play RF vs. LHP, with Mancini moving to DH.

Bench

UTIL: Ryan Flaherty
OF: Craig Gentry

Starting Rotation
1. RHP Kevin Gausman
