Orioles' Robert Andino: Hit with 50-game suspension
Andino was suspended 50 games Wednesday for testing positive for a drug of abuse, Eduardo A. Encina of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Aside from a 13-game stint with the Marlins last season, Andino hasn't seen major-league action since 2013. The 33-year-old isn't more than organizational depth at this point in his career. He'll be eligible to return in late July.

Orioles' Robert Andino: Receiving increased reps this spring
Andino will receive an extra look this spring while J.J. Hardy continues to deal with lower back problems, Rich Dubroff of Pressbox reports.
The veteran will get a chance to show he's still got something left in the tank as he embarks on his 11th MLB season. With Hardy's lingering back issues and Manny Machado playing in the World Baseball Classic, Andino should get a fair chance to usurp Ryan Flaherty for the team's backup infielder role. Andino's most productive season came as an Oriole in 2011, but even that wasn't much of a fantasy-worthy campaign. The 32-year-old is a longshot to move up the depth chart before Opening Day, but Andino's extra at-bats this spring are worth a glance.

Orioles' Robert Andino: Signs minor league contract with Orioles
Nadine agreed to a minor league deal with the Orioles on Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Rich Dubroff of PressBoxonline.com reports.
The 32-year-old has made just 24 plate appearances since 2013, going 7-for-24 with the Marlins after being called up last year. He slashed .267/.319/.427 across 453 plate appearances in Triple-A last year, where he'll likely end up again as organizational infield depth.

Marlins' Robert Andino: Designated for assignment Thursday
Andino was designated for assignment Thursday, Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post reports.
Andino has played in just 13 games for the Marlins this season, during which he's gone 7-for-24 (.292) at the plate. The decision to designate Andino for assignment was made so there would be room for the newly-acquired Odrisamer Despaigne on the 40-man roster.

Marlins' Robert Andino: Called up by the Marlins
Andino's contract was purchased from Triple-A New Orleans on Sunday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports.
Andino will serve as an extra bat in on the Miami roster following the placement of outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (groin) on the DL. He's seen most of his time in the minors this season at shortstop, but has also played at second base, left field and center field. If he gets into the lineup, he does provide modest power -- 13 home runs and a .746 OPS through 419 at-bats for the Zephyrs this season.

Marlins' Robert Andino: Goes 1-for-3 in loss
Andino went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Triple-A New Orleans' 4-2 loss to Iowa on Thursday.
Andino had a great spring, batting 10-for-29 for a .345 average and .424 OBP. In 2015, the infielder split time between Somerset in the independent Atlantic League and Santurce in the Puerto Rican Winter League and hit .248 and .263, respectively. Given the 31-year-old's relatively extensive experience in the majors (468 games) and his ability to play multiple positions, he could receive a call up in 2016 if a Marlins infielder goes down with an injury.
