The Orioles have laid out the final stages of Zach Britton’s minor league rehab assignment schedule, with the team’s closer conceivably returning from the disabled list during the team’s next homestand.
Britton -- who has made two scoreless one-inning outings, most recently an eight-pitch, three-groundball perfect inning for Double-A Bowie on Friday night – is slated to pitch next for Triple-A Norfolk at Columbus on Tuesday. He would pitch again Thursday and then work back-to-back days the following Monday and Tuesday.
“I feel really good,” Britton said Saturday. “I’m accomplishing all the little things I want to accomplish and now it’s just about getting some more innings again and then getting activated at some point.
