Further tests show no breaks in the right hand of Mariners starter Marco Gonzales

PEORIA, Ariz. — It might not help Marco Gonzales for the next few days, but the Mariners can sleep a little easier now. Further tests showed that Gonzales suffered no breaks in his right hand after being struck by a line drive during his start on Monday evening.

“He has a contusion,” manager Scott Servais said. “Contusion is an okay word. It’s better than break or fracture. We got lucky. He’s sore, but it’s not going to stop him from keeping his arm going. Hopefully, he should good for his next start. He’s really sore.
