SARASOTA, Fla. – Left-hander Vidal Nuño, the newest Oriole in camp, isn’t working out today and probably won’t report until midweek.

The roster remains at 54 players with Nuno’s addition and T.J. McFarland being designated for assignment.

Robert Andino returned to camp after leaving yesterday to attend to a family matter. He worked out at third base, shortstop and second base in an attempt to make the club in a utility role.

Andino could be the starting shortstop at Triple-A Norfolk, with Johnny Giavotella at second base and Chris Johnson at third.

Outfielder Craig Gentry is making a strong early impression in camp. I’ve heard him described as a “plus runner and plus-plus defender” who’s finally healthy and ready to restart his career.

Gentry has battled a variety of injuries, along with concussion symptoms, but the Orioles think he could be a valuable contributor this season if there are no setbacks. The question is how he could impact the rest of the outfield, which includes Joey Rickard and Rule 5 picks Auneury Tavárez and Anthony Santander.

The list of pitchers who threw on the side today included Ubaldo Jiménez, Darren O’Day, Zach Britton, Wade Miley, Dylan Bundy, Jed Bradley, Chris Lee and Jesús Liranzo.
