PEORIA, Ariz. — If you had Erasmo Ramirez in your personal pool of the first Mariners’ pitcher injured in 2018 spring training, you can now claim your prize.
Though for most Mariners’ fans, it probably offers little reason to celebrate.
On Sunday, manager Scott Servais announced that Ramirez, who was locked into a spot in the back of Seattle’s opening day starting rotation, had suffered a minor lat strain and has been shut down from throwing for two weeks.
“He’s been in Arizona since the first of February and doing great and everything was fine,” Servais said.
