OAKLAND -- The Mariners are moving closer to getting their full rotation back for the final stretch run as Marco Gonzales played catch without any issues with his strained neck on Sunday and now will get back on the mound this coming week.
Gonzales will throw a light bullpen session on Monday when the Mariners return to Safeco Field and figures he'll need one more workout off the mound before returning to a starting role. The Mariners have set their rotation for the upcoming Orioles series, with Erasmo Ramirez, Wade LeBlanc and Mike Leake going in the three-game set.
