The early days of spring training have given Coby Mayo new life with the Baltimore Orioles. With injuries to second baseman Jackson Holliday and third baseman Jordan Westburg, Mayo now has a clear path to making Baltimore's Opening Day roster. Beyond that, it would seem that Mayo will open the season as the Orioles' starting third baseman.
Giving Mayo a runway at third base is one of the reasons why the Orioles aren't expected to add a third baseman before Opening Day, and the 24-year-old's blisteringly hot start during Grapefruit League play is confirming that plan.
