With left-hander James Paxton on the 10-day disabled list after taking a 96-mph comebacker off his left forearm in Oakland, Seattle Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed a few changes.
First off, right-hander Felix Hernandez is returning to the starting rotation and will start Monday in the series opener against the Houston Astros.
But Servais also said they’ll skip left-hander Marco Gonzales’ next turn in the rotation, which was scheduled for Sunday in the series finale against the Dodgers. He’ll pitch Wednesday against the Astros, instead.
Servais didn’t say who would start in Gonzales’ place on Sunday, but they do have right-hander Christian Bergman still on the 25-man from Triple-A Tacoma.
