The Orioles finalized their Opening Day roster, selecting the contract of outfielder Craig Gentry. The Orioles created a spot on the 40-man roster for him by allowing Rule 5 outfielder Aneury Tavarez to return to the team they drafted him from, the Boston Red Sox.
Right-handed pitcher Gabriel Ynoa and left-handed pitcher Jayson Aquino were optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Right-handed reliever Oliver Drake will be the eighth pitcher in the bullpen for now.
A player will have to be dropped when left-handed starter Wade Miley comes off the disabled list. Another will too when a fifth starter is added.
