Looks to me like Bill Whitrock is fourth from left in the back row. Tnfoto had posted a photo of Whitrock back in 2010 on the following page:

Jiggs Parrott probably played enough games for Portland in 1890 that he would be in this photo, but unfortunately the only images of Jiggs for comparison are woodcuts or drawings. Makes it difficult to figure out which one he might be.

Attached is a photo of Patsy Cahill from the book ALWAYS ON SUNDAY: THE CALIFORNIA BASEBALL LEAGUE 1886 TO 1915. It shows him with the 1883 Haverly team. In comparing him with the 1890 Portland photo, I think he may be the player in the top row at the far right, but I'm far from certain about it. Cahill was 5'7.5" in height, so he would fit in that regard.
