SARASOTA, Fla. -- Pedro Alvarez's debut in an Orioles uniform is scheduled for Sunday against the Twins in Fort Myers, Fla., manager Buck Showalter said on Saturday, and fans can watch it live on MLB.TV at 1:05 p.m. ET.
Alvarez, who signed a one-year contract on Thursday, has been working his way up to game action. The left-handed slugger took batting practice before Saturday's game against Minnesota and also was slated to stand in against Baltimore left-hander Jeff Beliveau in order to see some more live pitches.
"Most of our guys had three or four days of offensive work before they played in intrasquad games, and today is Pedro's third day," Showalter said.
