After experiencing tightness in his right shoulder in last night’s 7-6 loss to the Red Sox, Hunter Strickland has been placed on the 10-day Injured List. The Mariners have officially called the injury a right lat strain, though the grade of the strain has yet to be clarified and no timeline has been set for his return.
Upon entering last night’s game with a 6-4 lead, Strickland allowed the first two men he faced to reach on a double and a hit-by-pitch. The 30-year-old appeared to be favoring his shoulder, prompting Mariners manager Scott Servais and team trainer Rob Nodine to check in with him.
