Orioles' Roansy Contreras: Getting stretched out this spring
Rotowire
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Contreras will be stretched out in camp in case he's needed as a starting pitcher or long reliever, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Contreras is out of minor-league options, so he'll either be included on the Opening Day roster or put on the waiver wire again after being claimed five times this offseason, including twice by the Orioles. The righty made just three starts and 46 relief appearances last season, but he has extensive starting experience. If Contreras does head north with the Orioles, he'll likely be in line for a long relief role.
