Worth noting

• Infielder Gabe Suarez, who is not in camp but is signed to a Minor League contract, is playing for Spain in the World Baseball Classic.

• Jeff Baker will start at designated hitter on Friday because Lance Berkman is still sidelined with a strained right calf muscle.

• Mike Olt will start at third base on Friday while Adrian Beltre continues to tend to a strained right calf muscle.
