Player Notes

  • MRI yields
    Saucedo (knee) underwent an MRI on Friday which yielded "overall positive" results, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Saucedo was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hyperextended right knee Wednesday and after Friday's imaging, the team is hopeful he can return to the bullpen when he's first eligible to be activated May 23. The left-hander will likely need to make at least one appearance on a rehab assignment before being activated. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
  • Expected back in July
    General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Santos (lat) will likely remain out until July, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Santos has primarily been throwing from 60-to-90 feet at the Mariners' complex in Arizona, though he has thrown from up to 120 feet out. He will now move his rehab from Arizona to Seattle, though it remains unclear how far away the 24-year-old righty is from throwing off a mound. Santos has been on the IL all season due to a strained right lat. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Progressing through injury
    Phillips (hamstring) was out on the field playing catch Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: Phillips was placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday due to a Grade 1 right hamstring strain he sustained May 3 against Atlanta. He is eligible to return May 19, and the right-hander could return to action when his minimum IL stint is complete. Phillips has eight saves with a 0.66 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Undergoes Tommy John surgery
    Brash underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Advice: Brash injured his right elbow during spring training and was pulled off his throwing program after suffering a setback in late April. He will now be held out for the remainder of the year as a result of his procedure, but the Mariners are hopeful he will return in early June next season. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
  • Shifting to bullpen
    Thomas Harding of MLB.comRockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Lambert will be moving out of the rotation to the bullpen, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lambert has started in three games for the Rockies this season, giving up at least four runs in each of them. In his last outing against the Cubs on Thursday, Lambert allowed seven runs on nine hits while striking out two over three innings. The right-hander has a 7.61 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 23.2 innings this season. Southpaw Ty Blach has one start on the season and he could serve as a spot starter for Colorado moving forward with Lambert moving to the bullpen. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
  • Mariners designate Tyson Miller for assignment
    Mariners designated RHP Tyson Miller for assignment.

    Advice: The Mariners needed to free up a spot on their active roster for Bryan Woo’s (elbow) return on Friday night, and unfortunately Miller was the odd-man out this time. The 28-year-old right-hander posted a strong 3.09 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and a 12/1 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings out of the M’s bullpen. Given the overall struggle that most teams experience with bullpen depth, it would be surprising if Miller didn’t garner some interest on waivers. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
  • Mariners activate Bryan Woo for Friday start
    Mariners activated RHP Bryan Woo from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: As expected, the 24-year-old right-hander will rejoin the Mariners’ rotation on Friday night against the Athletics. Woo has been shelved since the end of March due to inflammation in his pitching elbow but looked sharp on his minor league rehab assignment. He shouldn’t have any workload restrictions in his season debut on Friday night. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
  • Resumes throwing
    Musgrove (elbow) played catch Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Friday marks the first time Musgrove has played catch since he landed on the injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation. The 31-year-old righty said everything looked good after receiving an MRI and still expects to return from the injured list when eligible next Friday. He currently owns a 6.37 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 41 innings this season. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
  • Nearing throwing program
    Manager Pat Murphy said Friday that Williams (back) is scheduled to begin playing catch within the next two weeks, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Williams will be looked at by a doctor within the next few days, which will help determine how far away he is from beginning a throwing program. Though he seems to be trending in the right direction, the 29-year-old closer is still not expected back until around the All-Star break. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
