Unfortunately for the Orioles the injury bug has already bitten us as one of our young starting pitchers is going to miss the first month of the season most likely. Zach Britton, our 24 year old starting pitcher has been having problems with his left shoulder for a while and finally went to the renown surgeon Dr. Andrews to get it checked out. Orioles Insider Roch Kubatcho said this “Pitcher Zach Britton received two Platelet Rich Plasma injections today in his left shoulder, and Dr. James Andrews told him it could be a six-week process before he’s cleared to pitch. The hope, of course, is that Britton returns much sooner.” With him being a young arm I would expect the Orioles to take things very slowly with him and not bring him back untill he is fully healthy. While this is certainly a bummer, it is not the end of the world because while he is rehabbing, another pitcher will get the opportunity to prove himself on this roster and who knows it could be Chris Tillman.  Read more...
