Danny Hultzen - S - Mariners

Danny Hultzen (shoulder) has begun playing catch.

Hultzen was shut down in late April with a left rotator cuff strain and general shoulder tendinitis. The Mariners are expected to take it very slowly with their prized pitching prospect. He had a cool 2.78 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 25/6 K/BB ratio through his first 22 2/3 innings (four starts) this season at Triple-A Tacoma and could reach the major leagues later this summer if he can get healthy.

Felix Hernandez - S - Mariners

Felix Hernandez wasn't sharp Sunday, allowing six runs -- five earned -- over just five innings in a loss to the Indians.

King Felix recorded eight strikeouts, but he allowed eight hits and walked a pair. The Mariners' ace left his last outing with a back issue, so it's possible it was an issue for him again today. As long as he's healthy, Hernandez is obviously a good bet to bounce back against the Rangers his next time out.

Aaron Harang - S - Mariners

Aaron Harang (back) threw a bullpen session Sunday with no issues and is in line to start on Tuesday in Anaheim.

Harang missed his last outing with some minor back stiffness, but he's alright now. The big righty holds a 7.30 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over five starts this season but does boast a 23/5 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 frames.

Michael Morse - OF - Mariners

Michael Morse went 0-for-4 at the plate in his return to action Saturday.

Morse was scratched from Friday's game with irritation in one of his eyes, but he'll be fine. The outfielder is batting .254/.316/.493 with 10 homers this season.
May 19 - 8:13 AM
Oliver Perez - R - Mariners

Oliver Perez took the loss in Saturday's game against the Indians after he allowed a run on two hits and a walk without recording an out.

Perez had been lights out prior to last night and this is the first update we've done on him in 2013. Such is life as a middle reliever. Those of us that snickered when Seattle signed Ollie in 2012 -- each and every one of us, in other words -- have been silenced. The formerly maligned left-hander from Mexico put up a 2.12 ERA in 2012 and currently sits at 1.62 in 2013. After years spent as an overpaid source of angst for Mets fans, Perez has proved a great bargain in the Northwest.
May 19 - 4:00 AM
Joe Saunders - S - Mariners

Joe Saunders gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Indians.

Saunders tied a season-high by giving up 11 hits, including a solo homer by Mark Reynolds. He now has an 11.25 ERA in five starts on the road this season compared to a 0.94 ERA in four starts at home. That pretty much says it all.
May 18 - 4:28 PM
Raul Ibanez - OF - Mariners

Raul Ibanez's recent power surge continued Saturday, as he launched a solo homer in a loss to the Indians.

Ibanez had two home runs through his first 19 games this season, but he now has six over his last seven. The 40-year-old shouldn't be owned in shallow mixed leagues, but he might be worth a try in deeper formats while he's hot.
May 18 - 4:27 PM
Raul Ibanez - OF - Mariners

Raul Ibanez remained red hot in Friday's extra-inning loss to the Indians, going 3-for-5 with a two-run homer.

The sixth inning blast off Rich Hill was his seventh of the season, and knotted the game at 3-3. He's now homered five times and driven in 13 runs in his last six games. Despite the recent success however, he's still hitting .235/.278/.541 on the season and remains a spot play at best in most fantasy leagues.
May 17 - 10:52 PM
Brandon Maurer - S - Mariners

Brandon Maurer turned in a quality start in a no-decision against the Indians on Friday, allowing three runs on five hits over his six frames.

Maurer matched his career-high with six strikeouts in the game, while walking four. Despite the decent start, he owns a putrid 5.75 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 28/14 K/BB ratio on the season, and could be at risk of losing his spot in the M’s rotation. He’ll take on the Angels in Anaheim on Wednesday, but should be avoided for fantasy purposes.
May 17 - 10:48 PM
Michael Morse - OF - Mariners

Michael Morse was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Indians due to eye irritation.

It's safe to call him day-to-day. Endy Chavez will take his place in right field.

Stephen Pryor - R - Mariners

Mariners transferred RHP Stephen Pryor from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.

Pryor now won't be eligible to return until mid-June, but he wasn't going to be ready before then, anyway. The hard-thrower recently resumed his throwing program but has yet to test things out from a mound.
May 17 - 3:58 PM
Hector Noesi - R - Mariners

Mariners optioned RHP Hector Noesi to Triple-A Tacoma.

Noesi did a nice job in a spot start Thursday, holding the Yankees to an unearned run over 4 1/3 innings, but the M's need a fresh arm for the pen. The righty should get another shot later this season.
May 17 - 3:55 PM
Danny Farquhar - R - Mariners

Mariners purchased the contract of RHP Danny Farquhar from Triple-A Tacoma.

The M's need a fresh bullpen arm, and Farquhar is an obvious choice after he put up a 2.25 ERA and 30/4 K/BB ratio over 20 Triple-A innings. He'll operate in middle relief.

Aaron Harang - S - Mariners

The Mariners think Aaron Harang (back) will be ready to make his next start.

Harang was scratched from Thursday's outing due to a stiff lower back, but it appears that he's not going to need a DL stint unless he has a setback over the next few days. The big right-hander holds a 7.30 ERA and 1.42 WHIP over five starts this season.

Tom Wilhelmsen - R - Mariners

Tom Wilhelmsen notched his 11th save of the season with a scoreless ninth inning in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

A perfect 11-for-11 in save conversions this season, Wilhelmsen has allowed just one earned run in 2013 -- and that came on April 5. The Bartender's ERA (0.50), WHIP (0.61), job security and fantasy value for a reliever are all elite.
