It will be a brand-new face on the mound for the Mariners on Thursday night, with right-hander Andrew Moore set to make his major-league debut as Seattle goes for a four-game series sweep of the Detroit Tigers.
Come Friday night, a familiar figure will finally be back on the mound for the Mariners. Felix Hernandez, on the disabled list since April 26 with bursitis in his right shoulder, is scheduled to start Friday’s series opener against the Houston Astros.
“I’m really looking forward to it — he’s looking forward to it,” manager Scott Servais said of Hernandez’s return.
