Concern arises for bullpen as Mariners shut down Charlie Furbush for a few days

The Mariners' plan to bring Charlie Furbush along slowly in camp coming off injury has come to a halt as Furbush has been shut down for a couple of days.

He last threw from a mound last Monday when he threw to hitters in a live BP session. The session looked good and Furbush was very happy with how he felt afterwards. In the days following, however, he did not recover quickly from throwing.

"Physically he is fine, he is just not bouncing back as quick," manager Scott Servais said Saturday morning. "Maybe a little tight the day after he throws; he's not jumping out playing catch right away.
