Robert Andino (shoulder) was initially slated to begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday, but looked so good pregame on Friday that his timetable has been moved up. Andino will now begin his assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday and Monday, and could be activated by the Orioles as early as Tuesday if all goes well. Upon his return, he's expected to regain his role as the Orioles everyday second baseman, giving him plenty of value as a middle infielder in deeper mixed formats.
