Pearce (abdomen) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Twins, Eduardo Encina of the Baltimore Sun reports.
A strained abdomen will keep Pearce on the bench for the second straight game, forcing Chris Davis to move over from third base to cover for Pearce at first base. The Orioles bolstered their depth in the corner infield by acquiring Kelly Johnson from the Red Sox on Saturday, but Pearce's strong production this season should give him the edge in holding on to his job once he returns to full health.
