MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Zach Britton was activated from the disabled list and will start for the Baltimore Orioles against the Minnesota Twins on Monday.
Britton has been on the disabled list since Aug. 5 with a left shoulder strain. After winning five of his first six decisions, the 23-year-old lefty hasn’t won since June 8 and has lost eight of his last nine.
Baltimore also recalled infielder Ryan Adams from Triple-A Norfolk and sent reliever Jason Berken to the 15-day DL with a right shoulder strain.
Adams hit .217 in seven games with the Orioles earlier in the season. He was playing second base and hitting ninth on Monday.
