PEORIA, Ariz. -- Shawn O'Malley wasted no time getting back to Mariners camp Wednesday, checking into the clubhouse and meeting with the team's athletic trainers around 10 a.m. after undergoing an appendectomy surgery the previous evening.
The question now is how soon the versatile utility man can return to the field, and that remains to be seen.
"That's the first thing I asked," O'Malley said. "How long will I be out? I hate not being out there. The doctor told me that a woman ran a marathon five days after she had one, so I want to be back in four days.
