SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles made four more roster cuts this morning, and the list includes second baseman Ryan Adams.

This official ends any debate over the possibility that Adams will replace Brian Roberts at second base if the Orioles’ leadoff hitter is injured.

The Orioles sent Adams, who batted .500 this spring, and pitcher Armando Gabino to minor league camp. They optioned outfielder Matt Angle and infielder Brandon Snyder (.343) to Triple-A Norfolk.

The roster is down to 41…SARASOTA, Fla. – The Orioles made four more roster cuts this morning, and the list includes second baseman Ryan Adams.
