McFarland to have MRI on sore left knee

ANAHEIM -- Orioles left-hander T.J. McFarland, who injured his left knee in a Minor League start with Triple-A Norfolk on Friday, will undergo an MRI exam in Baltimore on Sunday, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.

"Stay on the safe side, see what we're dealing with," Showalter said before Saturday's game against the Angels.

McFarland, who was optioned to Norfolk on May 7, left his Friday appearance after suffering an injury covering the plate in the first inning.

Orioles team orthopedist Dr. Michael Jacobs will examine McFarland after the MRI. The pitcher told the club he felt he would only be sidelined for a few days, but management felt an MRI was needed.
