The follow-up examination Sunday on Mariners reliever Shae Simmons produced fairly positive results: No ligament damage in his elbow; just a strained muscle in his forearm.
Simmons, 26, missed much of the two previous seasons while recovering from reconstructive-elbow surgery — commonly known as Tommy John surgery — and left Saturday's game after experiencing stiffness in his forearm.
He underwent a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam on Sunday.
"The results came back good for him," manager Scott Servais said. "It’s just a little strain in the muscle mass in the forearm. We’ll shut him down for a little time and let it calm down.
