Zach Britton - R - Orioles

Orioles placed LHP Zach Britton on the 10-day disabled list with a left forearm strain.

It's the same injury that previously landed Britton on the disabled list. The good news, is that Friday's MRI didn't find any structural damage to his forearm or elbow ligaments. He'll be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks to allow the inflammation to fully subside. The O's will proceed cautiously in his recovery as to avoid the risk of further aggravating the condition. Brad Brach will handle the ninth inning until the southpaw is ready to return.

Kevin Kiermaier - OF - Rays

Kevin Keirmaier has been diagnosed with a bruised hand after X-rays came back negative on Friday.

Kiermaier was forced to leave Friday's game after getting hit by a pitch from Francisco Liriano. He'll likely try to talk his way into the lineup on Saturday but could be held out for a day as a precautionary measure.

Mike Trout - OF - Angels

Mike Trout (hamstring) went 1-for-4 in his return to the Angels lineup on Friday.

Trout sat out Thursday's game due to some minor hamstring tightness but appears good to go now. He's off to a terrific start at the plate, slashing .335/.446/.700 with eight homers, 20 RBI and five stolen bases.
May 6 - 8:13 AM
Jacoby Ellsbury - OF - Yankees

Jacoby Ellsbury (elbow) drew a walk and scored a run as a pinch hitter in Friday's comeback victory over the White Sox.

It's the first time that Ellsbury had appeared in a game since suffering a bruised nerve in his elbow on Tuesday. Look for him to return to the starting lineup on Saturday.
May 6 - 8:10 AM
Rougned Odor - 2B - Rangers

Rougned Odor hit a two-run homer in the top of the 13th to push the Rangers past the Mariners 3-1 on Friday.

It was Odor's lone hit of the night, but he made it count in a big way. He has two homers, a double and two walks in three games since being moved into the second spot in the Rangers' order.
May 6 - 3:35 AM
Yu Darvish - S - Rangers

Yu Darvish pitched seven innings and held the Mariners to one run in a no-decision Friday.

Darvish ended up with five strikeouts and four walks, so this wasn't one of his more dominant outings. He was effective, though, as none of the walks came back to haunt him. The one run scored on Robinson Cano's homer in the fourth.
May 6 - 3:33 AM
Alex Claudio - R - Rangers

Just three days after starting against the Astros, Alex Claudio pitched a scoreless 13th inning for a save Friday against the Mariners.

Claudio filled in for Cole Hamels on Tuesday, giving up three runs in four innings. He wasn't expected to carry on as a starter, though; 82 of his 83 big-league appearances have come out of the pen.
May 6 - 3:31 AM
Yovani Gallardo - S - Mariners

Yovani Gallardo pitched six innings of one-run ball Friday against the Rangers.

Gallardo is 1-3 with a 4.46 ERA after six starts. It's impressive that he's allowed just two homers in 34 1/3 innings, but even so, he's still been a below average starter.
