Baltimore’s Babe Hits a Home Run Against Yankees!
A player from the Baltimore Orioles returned to spring training after a stint at the WBC.
Spring training is entering its final stretch for the Baltimore Orioles , and the club has continued to evaluate how its lineup will look heading into Opening Day. After an active offseason that reshaped several parts of the roster, the organization is closely monitoring returning players from this year's World Baseball Classic and their readiness for the regular season. One notable player, Tyler O'Neill, temporarily left camp earlier this March.
The 30-year-old veteran departed to represent his country, Team Canada, in the international tournament and had not appeared in a spring training game since leaving the club. With the New York Yankees on the schedule Sunday, the Orioles announced their lineup and reinserted O’Neill, batting fifth and playing right field, marking his first appearance since leaving for the WBC.
