Ryne Stanek Dealing With Back Spasms
4 months agoSeattle Mariners right-hander Ryne Stanek (back) issued a four-pitch walk to the first batter he faced in his outing in Sunday's series finale against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels and came up grimacing. After talking to the trainer and manager Scott Servais, Stanek left the game and was replaced by Austin Voth. After the game, Servais said Stanek was dealing with back spasms but didn't provide further information on tests or a timeline. The good news for the M's and Stanek is that he'll now have four days of rest during this week's All-Star break, so perhaps he'll avoid a trip to the injured list and could be available out of Seattle's bullpen for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Houston Astros. The 32-year-old veteran reliever already has a career-high seven saves in 2024 in his first year with the Mariners to go along with a 6-2 record, 3.79 ERA and 1.24 WHIP with 42 K's and 14 walks in 38 innings pitched.
