LaMarre rewarded after strong spring

BALTIMORE -- When the Twins take the field against the Orioles at Camden Yards on Thursday, (2:05 p.m. CT, live on MLB.TV) several players will be experiencing Opening Day for the first time, including outfielder Ryan LaMarre, who was the biggest surprise to make the team and will be officially added to the 40-man roster on Thursday.

LaMarre joins catcher Mitch Garver and relievers Gabriel Moya, Tyler Kinley and Trevor Hildenberger as those who had never made a big league roster out of Spring Training. LaMarre was told after Tuesday's exhibition game against the Nationals that he was going to make the club over Zack Granite as the fifth outfielder.
