The Baltimore Orioles have released Michael Bourn and Chris Johnson, per a team release.

Bourn used his opt-out clause with the club as they failed to place him on the 40-man roster. He missed most of the spring with a broken finger, which made it difficult for him to make the Opening Day roster.

Johnson had a solid spring, slashing .269/.310/.493, but that wasn't enough to earn a spot on the Major League roster.
