The Norfolk Tides and their parent club, the Baltimore Orioles, have announced the Tides Opening Day roster for the 2014 season.

Norfolk's relievers include Nick Additon, Tim Alderson, Brad Brach, Kelvin De La Cruz, Eddie Gamboa, Brock Huntzinger and Chris Jones.

The Tides Opening Day roster features seven infielders: David Adams, Alexi Casilla, Ivan De Jesus, Chris Marrero, Cord Phelps, Brett Wallace and Jemile Weeks. Manning the outfield for Norfolk will be Quintin Berry, Julio Borbon, Xavier Paul and Henry Urrutia. The Tides will open the season with two catchers: Caleb Joseph and Johnny Monell.

Three players will open the season on the Tides disabled list: Pitchers Johan Santana and Luis Ayala and catcher Zach Booker. Santana and Ayala are not currently with the team.
