Fans wait all winter for this day. They were clearly not thrilled they had to wait a little longer.

It’ll be the first opening day for five players — Cade Povich, Tomoyuki Sugano, Jackson Holliday, Heston Kjerstad and Albert Suárez. Here’s the full 26-man crew.

The Mountain, as Bautista is known for his hulking 6-foot-8, 285-pound frame, is back after missing 2024 recovering from Tommy John surgery.

The Orioles are no longer the inexperienced baby birds. Their core has multiple major league seasons behind them and the team is counting on them to take that next step and be the leaders of the clubhouse.

While the major roster spots are sorted out, there’s still a rotation spot, bullpen space and potentially a bench infield position that are up in the air.

On Saturday, the Orioles tabbed Morfe to start the spring breakout game, a prospect matchup against the Yankees that lines up the best minor leaguers not on their team’s 40-man roster against each other.

The team’s rebuild, a Crohn’s disease diagnosis, an end of his switch-hitting attempt, countless injuries and a 30-30 season have highlighted his tenure with the Orioles.

Mateo played five innings in Sunday’s spring training game, striking out and grounding out in two at-bats.

Bradfield’s childhood friend and teammate Isaiah Hood died in a motorcyle accident this week.

Henderson thinks he may be able to sneak in a few more spring training at-bats before the team heads to Toronto, then be ready to go for the first game of the season March 27.

It’s the second opening day start for the right-hander. Eflin got the nod last year for the Rays.

If they like a place on a road trip, they’ll go back every day they are in that city. If they don’t, they’ll go back to the drawing board and find a new spot the next day.

The outfielder signed a five-year, $92.5 million contract with the Blue Jays that includes a sixth-year option that could raise the total value to $110 million.

The Orioles have 48 players in major league camp and can have only 26 on their roster for opening day.

MASN will still broadcast both games in 2025, but starting in 2026, the Nationals will be “free to explore alternatives for their television rights,” Major League Baseball said.

Eflin is looking to add depth to his curveball to separate it from his sweeper more, and he’s doing it the only way he knows how: by combining new-school technology with old-school feel.

The star shortstop felt sore after hitting the ground on a leaping catch in the first inning.

Sugano threw 28 pitches in two innings, allowing one hit and two walks against the Pirates.

There’s still a few spots up for grabs, and a strong performance in workouts and exhibition games can give someone an edge. Here's which Orioles players have looked good in early spring training action.

Bautista was away from his teammates for the entirety of the 2024 season, and that meant free evenings with no one to spend them with.
