Manager Scott Servais said it was precautionary. Simmons, who dealt with forearm issues late last season, will be checked out by team doctors.
PEORIA, Ariz. — The Mariners hope it’s a precaution and not a problem for Shae Simmons. On Saturday, the hard throwing right hander was removed Seattle’s Cactus League game against the Reds in the middle of the seventh inning after meeting with the assistant athletic trainer Rob Nodine, pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre and manager Scott Servais.
“He felt a little something forearm-wise,” Servais said. “It’s just precautionary, just get him out of there. Our trainer noticed it right away.
