LOS ANGELES – Felix Hernandez reported today that the ankle he tweaked in Oakland on Sunday is fine, but he is still feeling something in his quad.
Regardless, he expects to make his next start on Saturday at home vs. Texas. He is scheduled to throw a bullpen Wednesday but said he will throw a flat ground session instead. This is completely normal for Felix who prefers to throw flat ground sessions between starts rather than from the mound.
If there is any hesitancy coming out of the throwing session tomorrow, Felix could be pushed back in the rotation a bit thanks to an off-day for the M's on Thursday.
