Baltimore's Bergesen Hurt During Commercial

Orioles pitcher Brad Bergesen will be slowed at the start of spring training after hurting his shoulder while filming a promotional spot in December.

The injury caused the team to institute a new policy regarding commercial shoots.

Bergesen strained his right shoulder while performing in a commercial promoting Baltimore's 2010 season.

"He just did too much, too soon," said Andy MacPhail, the club president of baseball operations. "He's behind the rest of the pitchers at this point, but it's nothing we think is going to delay his regular season."
