Pearce is in the lineup Wednesday, batting sixth and playing right field.

EDGE Analysis

Wednesday marks Pearce's 2016 debut with the Orioles after being traded from the Rays shortly before the trade deadline. The Orioles are facing lefty Cole Hamels on Wednesday, so Pearce's placement in the lineup coupled with Pedro Alvarez's omission could signal a future pattern of use for Pearce being used against southpaws. Pearce is hitting .389 with a 1.225 OPS against left-handed pitching this season over 54 at-bats.
