Beau Taylor - Falls short of roster spotTaylor didn't make the Orioles' Opening Day roster and was reassigned to the minors Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
ImpactTaylor was in camp as added catcher depth after Adley Rutschman (triceps) got hurt in March. Per Silver, Taylor will stay with the Orioles' organization -- he should split time with fellow roster cut Jacob Nottingham at Triple-A Norfolk until Rutschman is healthy enough to play. Taylor slashed .234/.341/.335 in 74 games with Triple-A Louisville last season as part of the Reds' organization.

Jacob Nottingham - Misses cut for roster spotNottingham won't be included on the Orioles' Opening Day roster after he was reassigned to minor-league camp Wednesday, Zachary Silver of MLB.com reports.
ImpactAnthony Bemboom won the backup catcher job. Nottingham will remain with the Orioles' organization for now -- he should be expected to report to Triple-A Norfolk. Since he's played in just 44 major-league games over the last three seasons, Nottingham shouldn't be on the fantasy radar.

Bryan Baker - Makes Opening Day rosterBaker will be on the Orioles' Opening Day roster, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.
ImpactBaker allowed just one run on one hit and one walk with four strikeouts over four innings in spring training. The 27-year-old made his major-league debut with the Blue Jays last season before being claimed by the Orioles on waivers in November. His strong spring will allow him to start the season in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen, though the Orioles' lack of relief depth could see him move up the pecking order if he pitches well.
