An MRI performed on Orioles closer Zach Britton’s left knee on Thursday revealed no structural damage, according to an industry source.
Though the results were positive, it appears that the club is still undetermined whether the issue will land Britton on the disabled list – there is effusion in the knee that is causing swelling -- especially as the Orioles attempt to maneuver the rest of the month with a six-man bullpen before rosters expand on Sept. 1
Britton, whose American League record 60-game consecutive save streak was snapped in the ninth inning of the Orioles’ 8-7 12-inning win over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday, said he didn’t believe the issue was serious.
