ARLINGTON, Texas — For the first time since April 25, there will be a Felix Day for the Mariners.
Following a strong outing on Saturday night in Tacoma in his third rehab start, Felix Hernandez has been slated to be activated from the disabled list and return to the starting rotation. That move will come on Friday with Hernandez scheduled to start that night at Safeco Field to open a three-game series against American League West-leading Houston Astros.
“It’s what we’ve got mapped out right now,” manager Scott Servais said. “At that point, we’ll have to make some decisions on how we juggle the rotation and move guys around.
