Michael Saunders continued his hot hitting against the Rays on Tuesday, accounting for the Mariners only run in the game with a solo homer.
Saunders finished the game 1-for-4 with that solo blast off of Matt Moore in the third inning. He started off the season very slowly, but has come on very strong in the last week, now hitting .253 with four homers and 12 RBI on the season. Once Mike Carp and Franklin Gutierrez return from injury, it's going to leave the Mariners with some very interesting decisions to make regarding their outfield. In the meantime, he's a solid fill-in play as a fourth or fifth outfielder in deeper mixed leagues.
May 1 - 10:02 PM
Michael Saunders had a night to remember against the Blue Jays on Friday, hitting two clutch home runs to lead the Mariners to a come from behind 9-5 victory in ten innings.
Heading into the ninth inning, Saunders was sitting on an uneventful 0-for-2 night plus a walk. He connected on a solo shot off of Francisco Cordero in the ninth, cutting the Jays lead to 5-4. After the Mariners tied the game and forced extra innings, Saunders came to the plate in the 10th with the bases full and unloaded them off of Luis Perez with a towering blast to right field. He finished the game 2-for-5 with five RBI and three runs scored. It's surely a night that Saunders won't soon forget.
Apr 27 - 11:14 PM
Michael Saunders went 2-for-4 with a double, RBI, run scored and stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Rangers.
Saunders' double was a big one, as it plated the tying run in a 3-2 ballgame in the ninth inning. He'd score the go-ahead run two batters later on a John Jaso single. An everyday player thus far, Saunders is hitting .261/.346/.522. He's worth a look in AL-only leagues while Franklin Gutierrez works his way back from a pectoral injury.
Apr 11 - 11:40 PM
Michael Saunders ripped a pair of RBI doubles and scored a pair of runs in Tuesday's win over the Brewers.
Saunders now sports a .409 clip with a homer and five RBI so far this spring. A month ago he was likely destined to begin the season at Triple-A Tacoma, but with Franklin Gutierrez's injury, he seems likely to be in a platoon in center field with Casper Wells.

George Sherrill
D.L.
George Sherrill is scheduled to undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery in early May.
He's out for the year and may just decide to call it quits. Sherrill hasn't pitched since the Mariners' Opening Day series in Japan. The veteran southpaw had a 3.00 ERA in 36 innings last year for the Braves and agreed to a one-year, $1.1 million contract with Seattle in December. He lasted 1 1/3 innings. The Mariners will go with Charlie Furbush and Lucas Luetke for left-handed relief in the short-term.
