TEMPE, Ariz. -- Right-hander departed the Angels' 6-5 walk-off win over the Brewers in the third inning with right triceps irritation and is scheduled to undergo an MRI.
Street, who was making his spring debut, faced two batters before walking off the field with a team trainer. He allowed a leadoff single to , who was subsequently caught stealing. He then struck out swinging before exiting; he threw 11 pitches in the abbreviated outing.
"One pitch, he kind of looked like he was moving his arm a little bit," manager Mike Scioscia said. "Then he threw another pitch and it looked like there was discomfort. Obviously there's concern whenever a pitcher -- same with -- whenever they walk off, but we're not going to overreact.

The 33-year-old veteran struggled with injuries in 2016 and posted a career-worst 6.45 ERA over 22 1/3 innings before undergoing season-ending knee surgery in August. He has 324 career saves.
Norris, a contender for the fifth spot in the Angels' rotation, also left the game in the fifth with a blister.
"His nail kind of separated," Scioscia said. "He had it in his last bullpen session a bit, but it was fine. So that seems fairly minor right now."
