Lookout Landing • • sports
Key Points:
- Mariners reliever Matt Brash is on the 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his lat, a less severe injury than initially feared; lefty Josh Simpson has been called up to replace him.
- Outfielder Rob Refsnyder is day-to-day with minor issues and is not in the starting lineup despite the Royals starting a left-handed pitcher.
- Infielder Brendan Donovan is set to begin a rehab stint with Arkansas and may have managed playing time to aid recovery from last year’s sports hernia surgery.
- Outfielder Victor Robles will start a rehab assignment Sunday, with a potential return around the Houston series, pending progress on his shoulder and throwing ability.
- Pitchers Patrick Wisdom and Bryce Miller are starting or continuing rehab assignments, while Carlos Vargas experienced a mild setback with his lat strain and will restart his recovery process.
