Mariners with some tough injury news; Reliever David Phelps has torn UCL from last pitch in last outing Saturday. Will need Tommy John surgery.
— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) March 22, 2018Phelps said he felt the ligament go on the last pitch he threw on March 17 against the Angels. So, thanks a lot for that, Angels.
This sucks, obviously, but if the team were to lose any player for the season, it might as well have been a reliever. The bullpen is the one area the Mariners have some amount of depth.
