Andrew Stevenson got the fourth start in five games in center field in the series opener in Oriole Park at Camden Yards last night, so reporters asked before the game if there was a platoon in center field now, with the left-handed hitting Stevenson starting again over the everyday center fielder for most of this season, Victor Robles, with the O’s right-handed starter, Jorge López, on the mound.
Martinez has been giving Stevenson regular at bats since he returned from an IL stint for an oblique strain, and a rehab stint at Triple-A Rochester, and he said he’s liked Stevenson’s at-bats since he came back.
