Orioles catcher Jesús Sucre delayed in Venezuela by visa issues

Catcher Jesús Sucre had a locker in the Orioles’ clubhouse Tuesday as pitchers and catchers reported, but that was gone Wednesday as visa issues to get out of his native Venezuela delayed his arrival at camp, according to a team source.

Sucre, who signed a minor league contract on February 1, will be late to camp and thus a bit behind as a group that includes Chance Sisco, Austin Wynns, Carlos Pérez, Andrew Susac, and Martin Cervenka vies to impress the new coaching staff and earn major league roster spots.

Pitchers and catchers were due to report Tuesday ahead of what could be a wet workout Wednesday.
