The Seattle Mariners submitted their roster for the American League Division Series opposite the Detroit Tigers on Saturday, and the absence of Bryan Woo's name is the big story. It's disappointing, albeit not totally unexpected.
Though the Mariners struck an optimistic tone on Woo's availability for the ALDS — for which Game 1 is set for Saturday at 5:38 p.m. PT at T-Mobile Park — in the days after he left his start on September 19 with tightness in his right pec, the situation seemed to take a dark turn on Thursday. Woo was able to throw a bullpen session, but said he wanted to see how he felt in a week's time.
