Bird will start at first base Opening Day against Baltimore, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Bird hasn't edged ahead of Luke Voit, as Voit will serve as the designated hitter. There's likely only room for one of them on the roster once Aaron Hicks (back) returns from the injured list in mid-April, so Bird will need to impress in a two-week audition if he's to stick on the team.
