The Seattle Mariners have been dealt a significant blow to their pitching staff with the news that Dylan Moore is expected to return soon, while Easton McGee is likely to require Tommy John surgery.
Moore, who was acquired from the Texas Rangers in the offseason, was expected to be a key part of the Mariners’ rotation this year. However, he suffered an elbow injury in spring training and has been on the injured list since April. He has been making steady progress in his recovery and is now expected to return to the team soon.
Meanwhile, McGee, who was acquired from the Cincinnati Reds in the offseason, has been dealing with elbow soreness since the start of the season. After undergoing an MRI, it was determined that he would require Tommy John surgery. This procedure will likely keep him out for the remainder of the season.
The loss of Moore and McGee is a significant blow to the Mariners’ pitching staff. Moore was expected to be a key contributor in the rotation, while McGee was expected to provide depth in the bullpen. Without them, the Mariners will need to rely on other pitchers to step up and fill the void.
The Mariners are hoping that Moore can return quickly and provide a boost to their rotation. However, it remains to be seen how effective he will be after missing so much time due to injury. As for McGee, he will likely miss the remainder of the season as he recovers from Tommy John surgery.
The loss of Moore and McGee is a significant setback for the Mariners, but they will need to find a way to make up for their absence. It will be interesting to see how they respond in the coming weeks and months.
