Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) will work out and run the bases for a second time on Wednesday.

If he comes through it alright, he'll be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. Gutierrez ran the bases on Sunday for the first time with no issues. He shouldn't need a long rehab assignment, so a return later this month is likely if all goes well.

Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) will run the bases prior to Sunday's game.

Gutierrez has done some running and hitting for over a week, but this is the first time he'll be testing out his hamstring on the bases. "He’s moving around a little more," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Saturday. "When we go on the road we’ll leave him back and let him continue to work. We’re going to look to have him run the bases tomorrow a little bit and see how that feels. Work early in the week, maybe run the bases again in the middle of the week and then see where we are from there."

Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) took batting practice on Friday, and has been running and hitting for the past week.

Gutierrez, who has been on the disabled list since April 23 with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, said Friday that he's close to being ready to return. He got off to a nice start at the plate, hitting .259 with an .823 OPS and four homers through 16 games this season. While he's proven to be a fairly productive player when healthy, he just can never seem to stay on the field and can't be counted on for fantasy purposes.

Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) has yet to resume baseball activities.

Obviously Gutierrez, who has been on the DL since April 23, isn't close to returning. "We are going to take a look at him when we get back for those three (home games against Oakland next weekend) and go from there," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said.

Franklin Gutierrez has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks.

It's a best-case scenario for the outfielder. Given Gutierrez's injury history, it's always possible that he'll take longer than expected to recover, but it sounds like we'll see him back in mid-May.

Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) will undergo an MRI when the Mariners return home on Thursday.

The M's won't know how long he'll be sidelined until the exam takes place. Given Gutierrez's injury history, taking a pessimistic view is understandable.

Yet another disabled list stint for the talented but injury-prone center fielder. Gutierrez is batting .259 with an .823 OPS and four homers through 16 games this season. He is likely to be out for three weeks.

Mariners manager Eric Wedge said after Monday's game that Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) could require a trip to the disabled list.

It's not a surprise, as Gutierrez had already been dealing with leg issues and suffered a strained hamstring on Monday. The Mariners will make a decision prior to Tuesday's game, but count on Guti being on the shelf for at least a couple weeks.

Franklin Gutierrez has been diagnosed with a tight right hamstring.

Gutierrez was injured Monday when he attempted to make a diving catch in the fourth inning. He will be re-evaluated on Tuesday, but, given that the Mariners had already been considering a DL move due to his leg issues, a roster move could be coming.

Franklin Gutierrez left Monday's game with an injury.

Gutierrez walked off the field with the Mariners' trainer after failing to make a diving catch in the fourth inning. The club will update his status soon, but he presumably aggravated his pelvis/groin injury. A trip to the DL could be forthcoming.

Franklin Gutierrez said that he is dealing with a recurring issue in his pelvis which impacts other areas in his legs.

Gutierrez began feeling discomfort during spring training and has been forced to miss some time in recent days. "I have some issues with my pelvis, so I’m trying to fix it," said Gutierrez. "Some days it’s my groin. Some days it’s my hamstring. It’s different, but I’m working on it." Gutierrez has been getting treatment and doing special stretches and exercises in an effort to stay on the field, but given his lengthy injury history, fantasy owners shouldn't count on him.

Franklin Gutierrez (groin) may be placed on the disabled list if his condition does not improve soon.

Gutierrez is able to play sparingly, but manager Eric Wedge has shied away from putting him in the lineup on consecutive days to avoid aggravating his groin injury. Wedge said Sunday that if Gutierrez is unable to play every day by the time Michael Saunders is ready to come off the disabled list, the center fielder may have to be shut down.
