Zach Britton Could Be Activated As Soon As Monday
7 years agoBaltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton (Achilles) could return to the Orioles bullpen as soon as Monday, per MASN Sports' Steve Melewski. Britton was originally set to make his final rehab appearance Monday but is instead pitching Friday night. The expedited schedule perhaps was prompted after Brad Brach's meltdown Thursday night and manager Buck Showalter's emphasis on Britton pitching in back-to-back games before returning (Britton last pitched Thursday). Britton is a two-time All-Star, and the struggling Orioles need all the help they can get. The 30-year-old is worth an add for fantasy players in need of saves or teams with an available roster spot to speculate on saves. He should already be owned in most leagues, however.
