The 26-year-old didn't do much else at the plate in this one, but he did fire a strike to home plate to get Gio Urshela out and end the game after 11 innings.

Cleared for Opening Day Orioles manager Brandon Hyde confirmed that Santander (oblique) has been cleared to play in Thursday's season opener in Boston, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Impact Santander was sidelined for the Orioles' final few spring games due to a minor oblique injury, but he apparently showed enough progress in his recent workouts for Baltimore to feel comfortable with including him on the Opening Day roster. Baltimore may use Santander as a designated hitter more often than normal in the first week of the season in an attempt to preserve his health, but he should be a regular in the heart of the lineup.

Won't play Monday Santander (oblique) isn't included in the Baltimore lineup for Monday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Orioles had some hope that Santander might have been able to return from his minor oblique injury to play in the spring finale, but the team won't take any chances with the 26-year-old. His absence from the lineup isn't necessarily indicative of a setback, as the expectation remains that Santander will be available for Opening Day. The switch-hitter finished the spring with a .866 OPS over 29 at-bats.

Could return to action Monday Santander (oblique) went through a full workout Sunday and could be in the lineup for Monday's exhibition game against the Rays, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.
Impact The 26-year-old has been held out of the lineup for most of the past week with a minor oblique issue, but he may return to the field Monday. Santander's availability for Opening Day doesn't appear in doubt, especially if he's able to start Monday's contest.

Dealing with minor oblique issue Santander has been dealing with a minor oblique issue, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Impact Santander is out of the Orioles' lineup for a fourth consecutive game Saturday, but his injury isn't believed to be serious. However, it's not yet clear whether the issue could force him to miss the start of the regular season. If Santander is unavailable for Opening Day, Austin Hays could shift to right field while Ryan Mountcastle starts in left field.
