The Orioles made the reported callup of Jordan Westburg official on Monday morning, and they made his presence in the lineup official with the release of the lineup ahead of Monday’s game. Westburg is making his MLB debut at the second base spot, at the #7 spot in the batting order.
Tonight’s scheduled Reds starting pitcher, Brandon Williamson, is a lefty, which probably has a lot to do with where the Orioles decided to plug in Westburg for his first game. Left-handed infielders Gunnar Henderson and Adam Frazier are both on the bench to begin the game, with right-handers Westburg, Jorge Mateo, and Ramón Urías occupying the second, shortstop, and third base positions.
