Mariners' Miller's Status Uncertain After Oblique Injury

0:00For the Seattle Mariners, it's March 1st. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Seattle Mariners are gearing up with what could be one of Major League Baseball's top starting rotations this season, featuring pictures like Brian Wu, Logan Gilbert, Luis Castillo, George Kirby, and Bryce Miller. But a recent setback for Miller has fans paying close attention. After his start on Thursday, the 27-year-old right-hander felt soreness in his left side and oblique area. Imaging showed inflammation, so he's resting for a few days before easing back in with light catch. Team officials shared a loose timeline with no activity this weekend, light throwing five days from now, and a full check-up in exactly one week. That puts his status for opening day in some doubt. If Miller needs more time, the Mariners will pick a fifth starter from solid options, like Emerson Hancock and their pitching depth should cover it. Without worry, meanwhile, they're taking it slow in spring training to build him up right.

After a tougher year before that, the team is monitoring closely and hopes for no setbacks with updates coming soon. Thanks to our sponsor for helping bring you this episode.
