Bryan Woo MLB News & Injury Updates

Woo has been working through right shoulder soreness, which shortened his last start against the Astros on Aug. 16 and caused him to skip a turn in the rotation Friday against the Cubs. He felt optimistic after throwing a bullpen session Sunday, and it appears the right-hander will toe the rubber for Wednesday's series finale. Woo has a 9-8 record over 24 starts this season with a 4.10 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 137:29 K:BB across 138.1 innings.

Woo last pitched Aug. 16 against the Astros, exiting the contest after having tossed six innings of two-run ball while throwing 75 total pitches. The right-hander was lifted due to right shoulder soreness, and his next turn in the rotation was skipped. Woo left Sunday's bullpen session feeling optimistic about the shoulder, and he outlined that he didn't think that his season was in jeopardy, but he still wants to be cautious. Woo is currently occupying a spot on the 26-man roster, and if he can't pitch in the near future, he will need to be placed on the injured list. The Mariners are expected to make a decision about the 26-year-old's future before the team's series opener against the Phillies on Monday.

Woo was removed from his most recent start after 75 pitches due to shoulder soreness. The right-hander's subsequent turn in the rotation was skipped, but he was able to throw a bullpen Thursday and is slated for another Sunday. How he comes out of Sunday's session will determine how/when the Mariners put him back into their rotation, per Kramer.

Woo was removed from his most recent start Sunday against Houston after feeling soreness in his right shoulder, and although he was able to throw his normal between-starts bullpen session Thursday, the M's are still going to give the 26-year-old some extra time to recover. Wilson noted that he's optimistic Woo won't have to spend time on the injured list, though it's unknown when his next start will be. Kade Anderson will come up from Double-A to make his MLB debut Saturday, and Bryce Miller will move up in the rotation to start Sunday's series finale.

Woo had to leave his last outing versus the Astros on Sunday after 75 pitches because of right shoulder soreness. However, Woo and the Mariners downplayed the issue at the time, and he appears in line to make his next scheduled start Saturday against the Cubs, provided he bounces back from Thursday's mound work with no hiccups.

Woo worked around two baserunners in the first inning before allowing just two more Yankees batters on base over the next four frames. He sported a 6.32 ERA and 1.56 WHIP over 31.1 innings spanning six starts from June 24 to July 30, but he's kept his opponents scoreless in back-to-back starts and is up to seven consecutive outings in which he's struck out at least five batters. Woo will take a 4.15 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 132.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend on the road against the Astros.
