O'Brien was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a flexor strain in his right forearm.
O'Brien struck out two and allowed a run on a hit and two walks over one inning during his season debut Thursday, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. John King was recalled from Triple-A Memphis in a corresponding move.
