    • Woo! MRI on right-hander’s forearm returns clean
      Mariners’ manager Scott Servais told reporters on Wednesday that the MRI on the forearm of injured right-hander Bryan Woo came back clean.

      Advice: Too often in situations like these, a forearm strain leads to instability in the elbow, then the MRI reveals structural damage and another talented hurler heads for Tommy John surgery. It’s very refreshing to hear in this case that Woo won’t even require a trip to the injured list and could return to the Mariners’ rotation as early as next week. The 24-year-old hurler has been terrific this season, registering a 1.07 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and a 24/2 K/BB ratio over 33 2/3 innings in his first six starts. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:14 pm

    • MRI comes back clean
      Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that the MRI on Woo's arm "was perfectly clean," and the right-hander could be reinserted into the rotation as early as next week, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 24-year-old was scratched ahead of his scheduled start Tuesday against the White Sox due to what the team labeled as a "right forearm issue," but he doesn't appear to be dealing with anything too serious. It's unclear when exactly Woo will make his next start, though it seems the Mariners will attempt to avoid putting him on the injured list. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:00 pm

    • Zac Gallen (hamstring) throws bullpen on Tuesday
      Zac Gallen (hamstring) threw a 31-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday.

      Advice: It’s an encouraging development that Gallen has progressed to throwing side sessions after resuming throwing over the weekend without any issues. The 28-year-old workhorse landed on the injured list back in late May with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain and is expected to miss at least a few weeks. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo told reporters Gallen will throw another bullpen session on Friday and will likely need at least one or two simulated games before returning. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:07 pm

    • Works off mound
      Gallen (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: Gallen began throwing off flat ground Saturday, and Tuesday marks the first time he's thrown off a mound since landing on the IL with a strained right hamstring. Manager Torey Lovullo said the 28-year-old righty is slated for another bullpen session Friday, after which he will likely progress to pitching sim games before returning to Arizona's rotation.

    • Awaiting MRI results on arm
      Woo was scratched from his scheduled start Tuesday against the White Sox as the Mariners await MRI results on his right arm, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.

      Advice: The right-hander missed the first six weeks of the season with elbow inflammation and is now potentially dealing with another arm issue a month later. Woo has been dominant in six starts for Seattle with a 1.07 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB over 33.2 innings, but his outlook is now up in the air as he continues to be evaluated.

    • Servais: Bryan Woo to undergo MRI on forearm
      Bryan Woo has been scratched from Tuesday’s start against the White Sox due to a forearm injury.

      Advice: Mariners manager Scott Servais told reporters Woo is undergoing an MRI on his right forearm and the team is awaiting the results before making a decision on his status. It’ll be lefty Jhonathan Diaz taking the ball for an emergency spot start in his place. The 24-year-old righty has been phenomenal this season, when healthy, compiling a microscopic 1.07 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 24/2 K/BB ratio across 33 2/3 innings (six starts). It’s a bummer for fantasy managers since this was such a tasty matchup, but the positive news is that it sounds like he’s not facing an extended absence for the moment. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:58 pm

    • Scratched from start
      Woo will not start Tuesday's game versus the White Sox, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

      Advice: The Mariners have not yet said why Woo won't start as scheduled Tuesday, but an update on his status should come in the near future. In the meantime, Jhonathan Diaz will come up from Triple-A Tacoma to start in Woo's place. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:45 pm

    • Yields one run in quality start
      Harrison allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 6.1 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Monday.

      Advice: Harrison had just nine whiffs and three punchouts in the outing, but he kept the Astros off the scoreboard until the seventh frame. The left-handed hurler finished with his second straight quality start and allowed fewer than three runs for the first time since May 7. Harrison hasn't given up more than four earned runs in any of his 14 starts this season, though, helping him maintain a respectable 3.96 ERA despite a mediocre 1.33 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB across 77.1 innings.

    • Kyle Harrison strong for six against Astros
      Kyle Harrison surrendered one run over six innings Monday in a no-decision against the Astros.

      Advice: Harrison went without walking a batter for the second straight outing tonight and lowered his ERA to 3.96. There isn’t much mixed-league value here yet, but he’ll get there eventually if he continues to lower his walk rate. Rotoworld Monday, 11:05 pm
