Mariners Hold Bryan Woo Out of Thursday Start With Pec Tightness, Keep Him Off IL

Seattle opts for short rest to protect his postseason availability.

Overview

  • Woo will skip his scheduled start against the Rockies due to pectoral tightness after leaving his previous outing during sixth-inning warmups.
  • The Mariners say there are no plans to place Woo on the 15-day injured list, which would extend into the playoffs under MLB rules.
  • General manager Justin Hollander described Woo as day to day and said the right-hander has responded well to treatment and could resume throwing this week.
  • Seattle has not named a replacement for Thursday, with Hollander indicating the game will likely be covered by multiple pitchers already on the active roster.
  • The club’s position atop the AL West reduces urgency for a quick return, while rehabbing arms Logan Evans and Gregory Santos are progressing as potential postseason bullpen options.
