Mariners have three pitchers who are considering offseason surgery

Taijuan Walker, Steve Cishek and Tony Zych all have issues that could require more than rest and rehab.

With the 2016 season ended, there are some lingering health issues that need to be addressed in the offseason.

Three Mariners pitchers could be destined for offseason surgery depending on what they decide in conjunction with the Mariners’ medical staff.

Right-hander Taijuan Walker is contemplating surgery on his troublesome right foot that sent him to the disabled list midseason and impacted his performance. The problems stem from a bone in the bottom of his foot that is too long and causes irritation.
