The Orioles must turn in their final roster to the MLB office by 3 p.m. tomorrow. Robert Andino could be designated for assignment, since they haven’t found a trade partner. Kam Mickolio could be optioned to Triple-A Norfolk.

Update: Brian Matusz has tossed four scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out two. He’s thrown 54 pitches, 33 for strikes.

We’re still scoreless in the bottom of the fourth. Adam Jones is 2-for-2.
