Seattle Mariners Manager Gives Positive Injury Update on Starting Pitcher Bryan Woo

Seattle seemed to have avoided a potential disaster with Woo's situation, according to postgame notes made by team manager Dan Wilson.

"The foul ball came in the dugout," Wilson said after the game. "Think it was a bruise on his lower leg, but he was up around, walking around. So he should be fine. ... I think it was around his knee area, shin area, something like that. But I think he's fine."

Wilson also said that he had "no concern" about Woo missing his scheduled start in Game 3 of the series against Houston on Saturday.

The Mariners have dealt with multiple injuries to their starting rotation this season. George Kirby was just activated off the 15-day injured list Thursday due to right shoulder inflammation and made his season debut against the Astros. Logan Gilbert is still working his way back from a right flexor strain and Bryce Miller is also on the 15-day IL with right elbow inflammation.

Woo has a 2.65 ERA this season with 55 strikeouts in 57.2 innings pitched across nine starts. Seven of his outings have been quality starts and he's the only pitcher in the American League to have gone six or more innings in nine starts this season.

He's looking like a potential All-Star selection this season.
