Means (shoulder) said he expected to miss just one start while on the injured list, Joe Trezza of MLB.com reports.
Means landed on the injured list Thursday with a strained left shoulder, though he downplayed the severity of the injury, describing it as minor tightness while noting that he pitched through a similar issue in college. Means could rejoin Baltimore's rotation after a brief stay on the injured list. Prior to getting hurt, Means compiled a 2.67 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB in 70.2 innings.
