Orioles slugger Mark Trumbo, who has spent the past six months rehabilitating a surgically repaired knee, is scheduled to make his first exhibition appearance of the spring Wednesday against the Toronto Blue Jays at Ed Smith Stadium.
Trumbo will appear as a designated hitter in the game and could play again Thursday if all goes well. He has done every baseball activity during the final weeks of his rehab program and said two days of base-running drills have left him with no other way to test the knee other than to play.
