Orioles manager Dave Trembley said today that struggling closer Michael Gonzalez will miss at least three weeks because of the left shoulder strain.
Gonzalez had a magnetic resonance imaging performed today in Baltimore and Trembley said that it showed the normal wear and tear, but nothing other than the strain.
Gonzalez will report to the team's spring training complex in Sarasota, Fla., in the next couple of days and begin a rehabilitation program.
Meanwhile, Trembley said he'll mix-and-match with his bullpen, but he'll likely give Jim Johnson most of the save opportunities.
