Andres Munoz Suffers Setback, Shut Down A Few Days
2 years agoAn MRI exam on Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz (shoulder) showed inflammation in his deltoid area. He received a platelet-rich plasma injection and has been shut down for a few days as a result. If all goes well, Munoz should be sent out on a minor-league rehab assignment in late May/early June. The 24-year-old could now end up missing close to two months with this injury, but fantasy managers should still try to keep him stashed in an injured-list spot. When he's healthy enough to return to Seattle's bullpen, he should eventually return to a high-leverage role with considerable upside. For now, Paul Sewald will continue to be the M's primary closer at the back end of the bullpen.
