Injury reports<\/a> are never fun, and even more so when they come following a tough loss. They’re even worse when they involve a team’s top hitter and top pitcher.\u00a0The Mariners injuries from the game against Detroit on April 25, 2017 have put both on the disabled list.<\/span><\/p>\n Mariners manager Scott Servais<\/a><\/strong> removed Hernandez from the game after two rocky innings. Following the game, Servais told the media that it was “dead arm.” Hernandez was flown back to Seattle to undergo a MRI on his throwing arm. The results of the MRI will give a time table for Hernandez’s return. Seattle has placed him on the 10-day disabled list, calling it right shoulder fatigue.<\/p>\n Hernandez is 2-2 on the season in five starts. His ERA is currently 4.73 and he holds a 1.575 WHIP in 26.7 innings pitched. He has struck out 22, walked three, and allowed six home runs. Mariners have recalled lefty Dillon Overton<\/a><\/strong> from Triple-A\u00a0Tacoma to take Hernandez’s next start<\/span>. Per Jon Morosi’s tweet, Hernandez should miss two to three weeks while dealing with shoulder inflammation.<\/p>\n Felix Hernandez<\/a> expected to miss “at least” two to three weeks with right shoulder inflammation, source says. #Mariners<\/a> @MLBNetwork<\/a> @MLB<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) April 26, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n To add insult to that injury, Haniger exited the game in the top of the third. After hitting a single, he exited due to a strained oblique, which he has been fighting for a week or so. Seattle placed him on the 10-day DL while he recovers.<\/p>\n Haniger leads the American League in runs scored after 21 games, with 20. His slash line of .338\/.442\/.600\/1.042 places him among the games top sluggers. He is also a quality outfielder, with 45 put-outs and one assist in 47 chances. Taylor Motter<\/a><\/strong> should pull the starts while Haniger is out, as he has a solid slash line of .250\/.311\/.625\/.936 in 61 plate appearances<\/span>. Backing up Motter will be\u00a0Ben Gamel<\/a><\/strong>, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma.<\/p>\nFelix Hernandez<\/a><\/strong> Injury<\/h3>\n
