Newly signed slugger Pedro Alvarez doesn¿t look at all like he showed up three weeks into Orioles spring training.

One day after pitching eight shutout innings and striking out nine, Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen was optioned to High-A Frederick before Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Orioles manager Buck Showalter said earlier this spring that infielder Everth Cabrera would likely see time in the outfield this spring, and Cabrera will make his first Grapefruit League start this afternoon, starting in center field and leading off against the Philadelphia Phillies at Bright House Field.

Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez's second spring training start didn't go nearly as well as his first.

Orioles right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez was roughed up for four runs over two innings in his second spring start as the club lost, 6-5, to the Philadelphia Phillies at Ed Smith Stadium in front of an announced 7,010.

Orioles left-hander Wei-Yin Chen allowed seven runs ¿ six earned ¿ in 3 1/3 innings in the Orioles¿ 13-4 loss to the Phillies Saturday afternoon at Ed Smith Stadium.
