First our #1 starter. Now our closer...

Seems like parting the Red Sea for the MFY's.  They are the most blessed team in the history of sports.  We will see how much Britton will be missed when we play the MFY's next week. And the Red Sox.  A serious detrimental loss for the O's.

One thing they pointed out last night, was that while he felt soreness in his throwing arm, it did not affect his velocity at all for his pitches he threw after the pain.

They said this was encouraging news that it hopefully wont be an extended stay on the DL.

Id take a shot a Sedlock as a 1 inning guy.

Sedlock?  The guy has pitched 38 innings in his professional career, none above Single A.  Though he has pitched well, he has not dominated.  He's 21 years old and still a ways away from meaningfully contributing to MLB roster.  Starting his clock now over a 10 Day DL to Britton smacks of desperation.  I'd turn Wright into a reliever for 1 inning before I'd make a move like that.  In no way am I advocating Wright joining the Orioles; but it seems long past the time to convert that guy to a reliever.

No way we're seeing Sedlock now.

The story is that the injury is right above his wrist but below the forearm. Hopefully we get lucky and he just tweaked something when snapping off a curveball.

Just heard someone on 105.7 say that Britton has a MRI scheduled.

Anyone else heard anything

I was surprised they don't do it as a regular forearm pain protocol.

Reported two days ago.

Thanks, I guess I missed it two days ago. Would have thought that it would have garnered an OH thread

Like you said, it is protocol.

Yep protocol, makes sense... just that I heard voices in the media saying that he wasn't even going to have an MRI when it was first announced that he was going to 10 day DL

Iremember hearing that too. Hopefully this is just being done to cover their bases and not because of discomfort closer to the elbow.
