Zach Britton (ankle) could return this week for Orioles

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Zach Britton (ankle) will play catch Tuesday and could return this week.

What It Means:

Britton sprained his left ankle Saturday while trying to field an Adam Eaton bunt, but X-rays and an MRI both revealed no structural damage. He should be back soon, but Darren O'Day could vulture a save chance or two this week, so he's worth stashing for now in fantasy leagues.

Britton has pitched 10 innings so far this season, posting a 1.38 xFIP and an impressive 35.1 strikeout percentage on his way to recording 6 saves. Our models currently project him to finish the season with a 2.42 ERA, a 27.5 strikeout percentage, and 34 saves in 71 innings pitched.
