ANAHEIM, Calif. — The Mariners aren’t ready to announce whether rookie left-hander Yusei Kikuchi will have his next start shortened to just one inning.
But it will happen in either that next start, which is scheduled for Friday at T-Mobile Park or the start following it.
Manager Scott Servais didn’t want to commit to anything just yet. The decision will be made as a group with the front office and the pitching coaches.
“We’ll see how he feels today,” Servais said before Sunday’s game. “We have an off-day tomorrow and his next turn rolls around in the next homestand, I think the second game when we get back against Texas.
