Tuesday’s line-ups, official game notes, updated stats, Wedge pregame comments vs. the Angels

Mariners Insider | Tacoma News-Tribune —   That umpire crew of John Hirschbeck at home plate and Balkin’ Bob Davidson and Kerwin Danley on the base path is giving me this reaction.    Anyway, not a lot of news to report. Jason Bay is out for a few days with the tight right hamstring. Michael Morse is getting a “health day” to rest his strained quadriceps. Morse did some agility work with trainer Rick Griffin in the outfield to get him ready to go back out there. “With Smoak being back here, we’ll be able to give guys some … Read more »

Wednesday’s line-ups, game notes and update stats vs. the Astros — Mike Zunino catching and batting sixth

Mariners Insider | Tacoma News-Tribune — Mike Zunino will make his major league debut tonight. He will catch and bat sixth. The rest of the line-up is a little tweaked with Michael Morse and Kendrys Morales both not starting tonight. Morales’ back locked up before yesterday’s game, forcing him to be scratched. He’s not in there today. Morse is taking early batting practice, but they have also been careful not to push him to much as he recovers from this quadriceps strain. Justin Smoak is taking early BP from both sides of the plate. He will likely go on a rehab assignment tomorrow … Read more »

Sign of the times for Mariners: Michael Morse hurt, but still has to play

Seattle Times — Manager says Morse probably be on DL any other time

Seattle Mariners June 10, 2013

Michael Morse would be on DL already if Justin Smoak healthy

Seattle Times — There has been some growing debate — I think justified — over why the Mariners have dithered so long about putting Michael Morse on the 15-day disabled list. Morse missed seven games in a row, then went 1-for-11 the first three games of the Yankees’ series before sitting out yester

Morse and Smoak improving, but still not ready

Mariners Blog | Seattle Times — Flew to Minneapolis from San Diego today and was greeted with a fierce Midwestern squall -- for about 15 minutes. Now there are patches of blue sky, but there still is some rain in the forecast. Fingers crossed. First, a bookkeeping issues. Infielder Robert Andino, who was designated for assignment to make room for Jesus Sucre on the 40-man roster on May 24, cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to Tacoma. He'll join them on Saturday for the Rainiers' game with Sacramento at Cheney Stadium. Outfield Michael Morse, who stayed back in Seattle while the Mariners were in San Diego i...

Friday’s line-ups, official game notes and updated stats vs. the Twins

Mariners Insider | Tacoma News-Tribune — Quick note …. Robert Andino  has cleared waivers and accepted his outright assignment to AAA Tacoma. He will report to Tacoma on Saturday for the Rainiers game vs. the Sacramento RiverCats at Cheney Stadium  Andino was hoping to hook on with his old team the Orioles or any other big league team. I think he found out that teams aren’t in the market for a utility guy that hasn’t been able to put some at-bats together. Michael Morse was in the clubhouse and in good spirits. He just flew in about an hour ago. He will take batting practice today … Read more »

Thursday’s starting line-ups, official game notes, updated stats vs. the Padres

Mariners Insider | Tacoma News-Tribune — Let’s get to a few notes from manager Eric Wedge’s pregame media session Michael Morse will join the team in Minnesota. But it may be a few days before he is ready to play. Justin Smoak is going to take some swings left-handed today and tomorrow. But right now, he’s probably only available to pinch hit right-handed. Smoak could be back in the starting line-up this weekend in Minnesota. When asked about outfielder Franklin Gutierrez, who is rehabbing in Tacoma, Wedge gave a look almost similar to that of a teenage girl rolling her eyes. “He’s feeling … Read more »

CBSSports.com Fantasy — Mariners outfielder Michael Morse left Tuesday's game against San Diego after four innings due to an injury, ESPN reports.

U.S.S. Mariner — With both Justin Smoak and Michael Morse unable to play at the moment, the Mariners need to add a position player to the roster, especially headed into an NL park where they will need to pinch hit for the pitcher’s spot. The most likely call-up would be Franklin Gutierrez, who has been playing everyday down [...]-- This post came from: U.S.S. Mariner, and is copyright by the authors.
