The most positive news out of Seattle Mariners spring training was a negative.
As in the X-rays on Felix Hernandez’s right forearm came back negative, the team said after the 31-year-old pitcher was examined at the team’s facilities in Peoria.
The Mariners ace was hit in his pitching arm by a line drive Monday and forced to leave his spring training debut. Hernandez was struck on the upper right forearm by a liner from Victor Caratini of the Chicago Cubs in the second inning.
Hernandez was listed as day-to-day. He will be re-evaluated Tuesday.
