Andino starting at third base, Thome receives epidural (Roberts update)

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - The Orioles haven't announced any roster moves today. Nate McLouth isn't here, and I'm told the club won't find out today whether he exercised the opt-out clause in his contract. Lew Ford is starting in left field. Robert Andino has returned to the lineup. He's starting at third base against Rays left-hander Matt Moore. The Orioles did make one deal yesterday that flew under the radar. They sent Triple-A reliever Pat Neshek to the Athletics. I don't have any other details, but it might have been a cash transaction. Designated hitter Jim Thome received an epidural injection in his neck today in California to alleviate the discomfort caused by a herniated disc. The Orioles have a locker set up for pitcher Tsuyoshi Wada, who wants to watch a game in the dugout. He'll need a uniform to do it. Wada will wear No. 18. Don't pretend like you weren't curious.
