Joey Krehbiel - Gets back on track Krehbiel has pitched 4.2 scoreless innings over his last five Grapefruit League outings.
Impact Krehbiel also has a 6:1 K:BB in that span. The right-hander was a solid part of the Orioles' strong bullpen last season, but he was torched for eight runs over his first two appearances this spring. Now that he's back on track, he should remain in contention for the Opening Day roster, though the Orioles still have a lot of trimming to do to their pitching staff.

Jordan Westburg - Shows consistency in spring Westburg is batting .308 with a home run, four RBI and seven runs scored through 16 Grapefruit League games.
Impact Westburg has also posted a 2:12 BB:K, but his five extra-base hits in 39 at-bats have made him stand out in camp. The 24-year-old split last year between Double-A and Triple-A, posting a combined .261/.353/.491 slash line with 27 home runs, 105 RBI, 95 runs scored and 12 stolen bases across 138 games. Nathan Ruiz of The Baltimore Sun reports that teammates and coaches consider Westburg a consistent player. If he can continue to show that trait at Triple-A this season, he could be in line for his major-league debut some time this summer.

Mychal Givens - Dealing with knee soreness Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Wednesday that Givens hasn't pitched in a Grapefruit League game since March 16 due to left knee soreness, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The Orioles are hoping Givens will be ready in time for Opening Day, although it doesn't sound like a given. The veteran reliever has pitched well this spring when healthy, allowing just one unearned run with seven strikeouts over four innings. He's in line for a setup role this season.
