Outfielder/designated hitter Mark Trumbo returned to the Orioles starting lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the New York Mets after receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection in his right knee Monday.
“He feels better today like we thought he would,” manager Buck Showalter said of Trumbo, who batted cleanup as the team’s designated hitter Tuesday. “I don’t think it’s going to be something that’s completely going to go away until [he gets] a lot of time off. But I don’t think it’s anything he can’t manage. He and [head athletic trainer] Brian [Ebel] have been dealing with it for a while.
