The Seattle Mariners will open the season with No. 5 starter Bryan Woo on the injured list due to right elbow inflammation with Emerson Hancock set to take his place in the starting rotation.
General manager Justin Hollander told reporters in San Diego on Monday that Woo is being shut down briefly after experiencing discomfort during his most recent bullpen session."He did not feel good going into his last bullpen, couldn't get loose," Hollander said. "We cut it very short. Fortunately, MRI, everything else came back very clean structurally. No damage to the UCL, nothing really of note, just a little mild inflammation.
He made three starts in Seattle’s rotation with six runs allowed in 12 innings pitched with three walks, six strikeouts, and one home run allowed."Emerson Hancock will take his spot," Hollander said. "We've talked to Emerson, he's with us now. He's excited for the opportunity. Obviously, not excited about the way the opportunity is, but he's excited. Showed us a lot in camp, a lot of positives. We're really confident he's more than capable at this point.
