Renato Núñez has had to adjust to life as the Orioles' primary designated hitter this season, even if the assignment isn't permanent.
Núñez, who has been the designated hitter for 13 of the Orioles' 15 games, had never been the DH at any point in his minor league or major league career to this point. But the team's defensive emphasis has Rio Ruiz and Hanser Alberto getting most of the third-base time, and a biceps strain late in spring training has kept Núñez off the infield dirt in games.
"I've been DHing a lot, although my arm has been feeling much better," Núñez said.
