BALTIMORE (AP) Orioles closer Zach Britton is preparing for a much longer stay on the disabled list this time after returning too quickly from a forearm injury.
Britton was initially on the DL from April 16 to May 2 with a strained left forearm. He pitched in two games, felt discomfort in his pitching arm and was put back on the 10-day disabled list on Saturday.
The left-hander visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache, an orthopedist based in Los Angeles, on Monday. After an MRI and an examination, Britton was placed on a program designed to restore strength in his forearm.
