Britton ready to move forward in rehab
(MLB.com Baltimore Orioles)

All-Star closer Zach Britton took a big step toward his return on Saturday, throwing a two-inning simulated game prior to the O`s contest against the Rays. Britton is slated to begin a rehab assignment next week, likely for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, as the lefty has passed all his initial tests in a return from offseason right Achilles surgery.
