SARASOTA, Fla. -- Zach Britton says that he's not worried about the soreness in his oblique. The Orioles left-hander, who converted all 47 of his save attempts in 2016, was scheduled to throw in an intrasquad game on Wednesday, but manager Buck Showalter said the day before that Britton would not pitch.

"It felt a little bit better today. It was a few days ago, just kind of normal soreness," Britton said.

Britton threw a bullpen session on Monday.

"I just felt a little more sore than I normally would, so I talked to [trainers Richie Bancells and Brian Ebel] and kind of figured out what was going on.
