3B/DH SD
Manny Machado will bat second in Tuesday's season opener against the Rays.
Machado didn't bat higher than sixth in the order in any game last season, but Orioles manager Buck Showalter is giving him a shot against left-hander David Price. The 20-year-old is expected to move back down to the bottom-third of the order against right-handers, but it's still a nice sign for his fantasy value.
