The Orioles will find out more about the severity of setup man Darren O’Day’s ailing shoulder this afternoon.
Their bullpen overcame O’Day's absence for seven weeks earlier this season, but losing him again for any extended period would hurt on many levels.
Right-hander Brad Brach picked up the slack for O’Day when he was out with a right hamstring strain, using the opportunity to pitch in more high-leverage innings and become an All-Star for the first time in his career.
But Brach has struggled in the second half, and Friday’s 5-2 win over the San Francisco Giants was the latest example.
