Yoshihisa Hirano Making Progress Towards Return
4 years agoSeattle Mariners reliever Yoshihisa Hirano (COVID-19) is throwing bullpen sessions in Arizona and is set to join the team's alternate site in Tacoma to face live hitters. The right-hander was late to begin his training since testing positive for COVID-19 at the end of June, but could join the team in a week or two. Hirano had 15 saves in a set-up role for the Diamondbacks last year and will presumably work in a similar role with the M's this season. He would become fantasy relevant if he earned some save opportunities, but with Taylor Williams looking sharp and Austin Adams set to return from injury, he's not the odds-on favorite.
