Pearce (illness) pinch hit Wednesday and it appears he will be available Thursday against the Yankees, MASN Sports reports. The window is closing on Pearce's playing time at second base, but he should be able to find a spot in the lineup most days now that the Orioles are returning to AL parks. Pearce missed two starts after being removed Sunday and is off to a slow start on the season, slashing just .183/.265/.300.
