Anthony Santander, Austin Hays, and Dwight Smith Jr.— those are the Orioles’ three starting outfielders. They’re also the Orioles’ only outfielders.
With rosters expanded to 28 players, Baltimore has elected to keep only three active outfielders. A rarity when a team was limited to 25, the move seems even more peculiar with the extra spots.
Insert joke about the year 2020 here.
This wasn’t always the plan. The Orioles roster featured five outfielders less than a week ago, and an additional player that could man the green grass in a pinch.
