Samuel Basallo Returns to Action, Starting at Catcher for Orioles

Samuel Basallo (abdomen) is set to start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox. The 21-year-old Baltimore Orioles prospect had departed Thursday's spring game due to abdominal discomfort but is ready to return after a couple of days off. His immediate return behind the plate, rather than as a DH, suggests the injury was not a serious concern, allowing him to resume full duties for the Orioles.
