Zach Britton (LHP, BAL) - L Forearm strain (5/6/17)
Britton is following a path that has led many a pitcher to Tommy John surgery. It's not over 'til it's over, but it's a very real possibility at this point. He will see Dr. ElAttrache and go from there.
2017 Impact: Possible loss of season
Est. Return: Late June (best estimate if he avoids surgery)

2017 Impact: Minimal
Est. Return: Mid-May
Adrián González (1B, LA) - R Elbow soreness; Back, herniated disk (5/5/17)
