With set-up man Darren O'Day on the disabled list for the second time this season, the Orioles bullpen will again have to overcome his absence.
The Orioles expect O'Day to be ready to return from a right rotator cuff strain — he received a cortisone injection in his shoulder Saturday to help accelerate the recovery process — when he is eligible to be activated from the disabled list on Aug. 27.
When O'Day missed seven weeks with a right hamstring strain, rookie right-hander Mychal Givens was thrust into more late-inning opportunities, and he likely will face an even bigger role in O'Day's absence now.
