O's closer Felix Bautista goes on DL ending stellar rookie year
BALTIMORE - The Baltimore Orioles have one more series remaining in the season, but it appears closer Felix Bautista's season is over.
The flame-throwing reliever has been placed on the 15-day disabled list with left knee discomfort.
Baltimore wraps up its season with a three-game series at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Bautista was key in the Orioles' second-half surge. The Orioles (81-77) will have a winning season for the first time since 2016.
Bautista - a rookie - notched 15 saves and posted a 2.19 ERA in 65 games this season. He struck out 88 batters.
