Yankees manager Joe Girardi announced on Thursday that shortstop Didi Gregorius will make his season debut Friday night against the Baltimore Orioles at Yankee Stadium, according to multiple reports.

Gregorius has missed 19 games this April, due to a strained right shoulder he suffered during the World Baseball Classic as a player on Team Netherlands back in March.
