BALTIMORE -- Danny Valencia is expected to return from the paternity list prior to the Orioles' game against the Yankees on Friday.
Valencia was a late scratch from Tuesday's game against the Nationals, as he went to meet his wife at the hospital. The couple welcomed a baby boy, Oliver, on Wednesday morning.
To fill his roster spot, Baltimore recalled left-hander Donnie Hart, who presumably will be sent back to Triple-A Norfolk when Valencia returns.
Britton to throw again Saturday
While the Orioles continue to monitor the forecasts at their affiliates, the plan for now is to have Zach Britton continue his rehab this weekend with Norfolk.
