PEORIA, Ariz. -- While left-handed setup man Charlie Furbush is progressing well in his return from last year's shoulder issues and is expected to see his first Cactus League action soon, three other relief candidates in Mariners camp are dealing with injuries that could sideline them for some time.
Left-hander Danny Hultzen, who was converted to the bullpen this year in an attempt to kick-start a career stalled for three years by serious shoulder issues, had a setback after throwing 25 pitches in batting practice on Saturday and is now "in a holding pattern," according to manager Scott Servais.
