The Baltimore Orioles have made four cuts today to get their roster down to the 25-man roster. The Orioles optioned Henry Urrutia and Steve Johnson. The Orioles also assigned Quintin Berry and Alexi Casilla to minor league camp. Nolan Reimold will also start the season on the disabled list, with neck problems.

Urrutia, Johnson and Casilla have all played for the Orioles last season and I expect they will play for the Orioles at some point. Urrutia proved to be a very effective pinch hitter last season.
