SEATTLE -- It's not easy staying a part of a team during a lengthy injury rehab, but Mariners reliever Sam Tuivailala found a way to bridge the distance through social media.
After being acquired in a trade with the Cardinals last July, Tuivailala had only been with his new club 11 days when he blew out his Achilles tendon in a rundown between third base and home on Aug. 8 in Arlington.
