Closer Zach Britton was scheduled to make his first minor league rehabilitation appearance Monday night at Short-A Aberdeen, but the threat of bad weather forced the Orioles to push that outing to Tuesday.
The change shouldn’t delay his scheduled return.
“We talked with [Aberdeen],” manager Buck Showalter said. “Obviously we’re better equipped to handle that, but it won’t affect his schedule tomorrow, provided he pitches tomorrow. We had a couple rain days built in.”
In other injury news:
>> Right-handed reliever Darren O’Day had an “extensive” bullpen session Monday afternoon — the first time he’s thrown off a mound since going on the DL with a right shoulder strain June 7 — and Showalter said O’Day’s next step is to pitch a simulated game Wednesday.
