Gallardo flew into Sarasota yesterday and started the physical. The team hoped to have it done this afternoon and wanted to set up his locker.

The Orioles were confident in Gallardo’s health history as they negotiated the deal. The sides reached agreement over the weekend.

The first full-squad workout will be held on Wednesday. Chris Davis took the field this morning and participated in drills.
