PEORIA, Ariz. -- With Opening Day now just three weeks away, there is growing concern in Mariners' camp about the availability of reliever Charlie Furbush as the lefty setup man continues to be slowed by some lingering tightness in his throwing shoulder.
With only two other healthy left-handed relievers in camp in Vidal Nuno and David Rollins, manager Scott Servais said starting candidate Mike Montgomery -- who is out of Minor League options and facing tough odds to make the rotation -- would be used out of the bullpen the rest of the spring.
