One of the biggest Orioles roster questions of spring training has been: Will Mark Trumbo be ready to play on Opening Day? Four days before the start of the season, there is finally an answer. No. Manager Brandon Hyde confirmed to O’s reporters on Sunday morning that Trumbo will begin the season on the injured list. You used to know it as the disabled list.
With Trumbo only getting into Grapefruit League games about a week and a half ago and being limited to just a couple of at-bats per game as the designated hitter only, it’s not a shock to learn that he will not be healthy enough to start the season.
