Hunter Strickland To Resume Playing Catch
5 years agoSeattle Mariners closer Hunter Strickland (lat) will resume playing catch in the next day or two after his MRI exam didn't show any new injuries. Strickland felt soreness in his right lat while throwing over a week ago, but it looks like he avoided something much worse. The right-hander has two saves in three appearances at the end of March but hasn't pitched in the big leagues since because of his injury. He should be Seattle's unquestioned closer again when he returns, which makes him worth stashing in the majority of leagues. Roenis Elias has been the best bet for saves in Strickland's absence, but he hasn't had many opportunities.
