KANSAS CITY -- Mariners ace Felix Hernandez said he awoke on Tuesday morning and immediately flexed his right arm to test his elbow. But don't think that's any huge reason for alarm.
"I test it every day," Hernandez said with a grin. "It's fine now."
Hernandez was removed from Sunday's start in Texas after 105 pitches and 5 2/3 innings when he felt some tightness in the elbow, but both Hernandez and manager Lloyd McClendon said there was no indication the right-hander will need to miss his next scheduled start this weekend against the Angels.
