Some mixed news Monday on the Mariners’ injury front.
Reliever Shae Simmons is scaling back his throwing program to undergo further examination on the strained muscle in his forearm, but relievers Tony Zych and Steve Cishek reported no day-after problems after their Sunday performances.
Zych pitched one inning in the 7-6 victory over a Cincinnati split squad, which marked his first official spring outing since undergoing surgery in October for a biceps tendon transfer.
Cishek threw from a mound for the second time this spring in his recovery from October surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip.
