MLB: Zach Britton returns to Orioles’ DL

Baltimore Orioles closer Zach Britton said Tuesday he is preparing for a longer stay on the disabled list after returning too quickly from a forearm injury, but refuted reports he could be out for 60 days.

Britton was on the DL from April 16 to May 2 because of a strained left forearm. He pitched in two games, felt discomfort in the arm and was put back on the 10-day DL on Saturday.

Britton is five for five in save opportunities with a 1.00 ERA.
