BALTIMORE - The Yankees and Baltimore Orioles begin a four-game series at Oriole Park on Friday night.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
The Yankees' lineup doesn't include slumping first baseman Greg Bird, who was 0-for-10 with four strikeouts in a two-game series in Miami this week and now hitting .202 for the season.
Prior to the game, the Yankees activated left-hander CC Sabathia from the disabled list. He'll start for the Yanks.
The Yanks freed up a roster spot on Thursday by optioning rookie pitcher Chance Adams to Triple-A following a one-day stint in the big leagues, his second of the season.
