Norfolk's relievers include Michael Bowden, Oliver Drake, Steve Johnson, Chris Jones, Patrick McCoy, Daniel Rodriguez and Chaz Roe.

The Tides Opening Day roster features six infielders: Michael Almanzar, Paul Janish, Jayson Nix, Chris Parmelee, Garabez Rosa and Christian Walker. Manning the outfield for Norfolk will be Dariel Alvarez, Julio Borbon, Nolan Reimold and Henry Urrutia. The Tides will open the season with two catchers: Steve Clevenger and Audry Perez.

Three players will open the season on Norfolk's disabled list: Pitcher Dane De La Rosa, infielder Rey Navarro and catcher Zach Booker.
