Andres Munoz Plays Catch Thursday
5 months agoSeattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz (back) played catch under the watch of a trainer before the team's win on Thursday against the Oakland Athletics. Munoz has been dealing with a back injury of late and was pulled from his save opportunity on Tuesday in Oakland after a collision at home plate with the runner on a wild pitch when he was covering home. The 25-year-old is optimistic that he can avoid a trip to the injured list, though, and was seen giving fist bumps to teammates after throwing on Thursday. It's an indication that he could be available out of the bullpen as soon as this weekend's series against the Kansas City Royals. Lefty Tyler Saucedo picked up his second save of the year in relief of Munoz, while righty Ryne Stanek had a perfect ninth inning to record his fourth save on Thursday.
