Just a few months after Scribner was traded to the Mariners from the Oakland Athletics, Scribner began to experience back issues. It was in March when Scribner was first plagued by back problems as a Mariner. It was only the middle of spring training, yet, Scribner’s whole year was now in jepordy.
It was the previous season -before he was traded from Oakland- when Scribner first had these type of injury issues. In September of 2015, the right-hander was placed on the sixty-day DL for a torn lat muscle. It seems, that the middle part of his back would never heal fully because, not even six months later, he was back on the DL with the same issues.
