Off-season acquisition Steve Pearce will play first base for the Toronto Blue Jays in Monday’s season opener against the Baltimore Orioles.
Switch-hitter Justin Smoak, who’s expected to see plenty of time at first this season, will be on the bench against Orioles right-hander Kevin Gausman.
Ezequiel Carrera will man left field for Toronto.
Pearce spent parts of five seasons with the Orioles, including the last two months of 2016, when he helped the club earn a wild-card berth after being acquired in a trade with the Tampa Bay Rays.
