Orioles placed RHP Andrew Kittredge on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

Kittredge has already progressed to throwing bullpen sessions after missing time earlier in camp with shoulder inflammation. He’ll kick off a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk shortly after Opening Day. The 36-year-old veteran setup specialist will help bridge the gap to newly-minted Orioles closer Ryan Helsley this season.
