March 23, 2013 - 5:25 PM ET

Orioles optioned 2B Jonathan Schoop, LHP Zach Britton, and 3B Yamaico Navarro to Triple-A Norfolk.

The Orioles are expected to use Schoop at shortstop this year, but his best chance at reaching the majors will be at second base if/when Brian Roberts gets injured. Britton was a candidate for the final spot in Baltimore's Opening Day rotation.
