After baseball teams return to their home parks July 1 for a rushed spring training, time will be short to get reacquainted with the players who will compete during the coronavirus-shortened 60-game season.
When it comes to the Orioles, that might be a tougher task than usual. Considering that the offseason roster turnover never really settled in and that the original edition of spring training ended a few weeks early, nobody had time to get a feel for who might stick around.
The roster battles that were cut short in camp might not materialize, with 30 players set to be on the major league roster for the first two weeks of the season, then 28 for two weeks and finally 26 from the fifth week on.
