FORT MYERS, Fla. -- One of the more interesting position battles at Orioles Spring Training is for the left-handed reliever's spot. Baltimore has three main candidates for the job.
The incumbent is Donnie Hart, who enjoyed a great debut in 2016, when he allowed just one run in 18 1/3 innings. Last season wasn't as good for the 27-year-old, who had two stints at Triple-A Norfolk. He finished with a 3.71 ERA in 51 Major League appearances.
Hart's principal challengers are Josh Edgin and Joely Rodriguez, both of whom are non-roster invitees.
