Sam Tuivailala News
Seattle Mariners pitcher Sam Tuivailala has been named the opener for Sunday's game against the Houston Astros. Tuivailala will draw the start and pitch an inning or two in this one. Lefty Tommy Milone will pitch a bulk of the innings against Houston. This is not a favorable pitching situation. The Astros offense should be in line for a good game on Sunday.
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Sam Tuivailala (Achilles, shoulder) was back on the mound for a minor-league rehab appearance on Sunday for Class A Everett (Wash.), but he was tuned up for five runs - four earned - and five hits while retiring just two batters. He is on the 60-day injured list due to an Achilles' injury, and he was pulled from his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma due to a shoulder issue. At this point he is only worth monitoring in deeper AL-only fantasy leagues.
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Sam Tuivailala (Achilles, shoulder) was pulled off of his minor-league rehab stint with Triple-A Tacoma to work with the big league club's training staff. He has been dealing with some tightness in his shoulder, and he reportedly had a dead arm over the weekend. The reliever is on the long road back from surgery to repair a torn Achilles' tendon. It's uncertain how long he'll need before he is able to return to the big club, and it's possible he'll need to restart the clock on another 30-day rehab stint since he has developed a new ailment.
