The Seattle Mariners have been struggling in the past two weeks, but they received some positive news recently regarding starting pitcher Bryan Woo. Woo, who has been on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, is expected to return to the starting rotation before the All-Star break. This news was shared by Jerry Dipoto in an interview with MLB Network Radio, as reported by Curtis Rogers of Seattle Sports 710.
Woo’s talent is undeniable with a 3-1 record and a 1.77 ERA in seven starts this season, but his health concerns are real. He has a history of injuries, including Tommy John surgery in college and multiple stints on the injured list for various issues. Bringing him back for a start before the All-Star break would be a way to keep him sharp without overworking him.
After suffering a 2-0 loss on Tuesday night, the Mariners are currently 47-40 for the season and leading the American League West by 3.0 games over the Houston Astros. They will face the Orioles again on Wednesday night with Logan Gilbert on the mound for Seattle.
