Mariners reliever Shae Simmons suffers a setback in his recovery from a forearm strain

PEORIA, Ariz. — The Mariners have shutdown Shae Simmons in his recovery from a forearm strain after continued issues with the flexor bundle.

“It’s weird,” he said. “Whenever I’m not throwing, it feels great. That’s the only issue.”

Simmons was removed a game on March 11 after experiencing forearm tightness. After taking a week off from throwing to receive treatment on the forearm, he had begun playing light catch out to 90 feet. But during that process he noticed that the forearm wasn’t responding well while throwing.

“When I’m throwing it’ll start to fatigue out on me,” he said.
