Pedro Alvarez returns to Orioles as an outfielder (Yahoo Sports)

Pedro Alvarez will try shifting to the outfield in his return to the Baltimore Orioles. A corner infielder with Pittsburgh and a designated hitter with Baltimore last season, Alvarez finalized a minor league contract Monday and would get a $2 million, one-year deal if added to the 40-man roster. ''Looking forward to the opportunity to get to learn the position as best as possible,'' Alvarez said.
