How worried should the Orioles be about Zach Britton? When manager Buck Showalter mentioned Feb. 21 that the All-Star left-handed reliever would be held out of the second intrasquad game because Britton felt some discomfort in his left oblique muscle, there was lots of worry in Orioleland.
Britton, who threw a bullpen session Feb. 20 and felt something wasn't quite right a day later, now believes there really isn't anything to be concerned about.
"It felt a little bit better today," Britton said. "It was a few days ago, just kind of normal soreness from throwing. And then I think we threw in the cage the other day, and I came in and I just felt a little more sore than I normally would."
