The Seattle Mariners are concerned about a blister on the hand of rookie starter Bryce Miller. The young pitcher has been a bright spot in the Mariners’ rotation this season, but the blister could be a sign of a bigger problem.
Miller first developed the blister during his last start against the Oakland Athletics. He was able to pitch through the pain, but the blister has since grown larger and more painful. The Mariners have decided to give Miller a few days off to rest and heal the blister.
Blisters can be caused by a number of things, including friction from a baseball or glove, or even from a poor grip on the ball. In Miller’s case, it is believed that the blister is due to a combination of factors. The Mariners are worried that the blister could be a sign of an underlying medical issue, such as an infection or an injury to his hand.
The Mariners have not yet decided how to proceed with Miller’s situation. They are considering giving him more time off to rest and heal, or possibly sending him for further medical evaluation. In either case, the Mariners will need to make sure that Miller is healthy and ready to pitch before allowing him to take the mound again.
The Mariners are hoping that the blister is nothing more than a minor issue, but they will need to take all necessary precautions to ensure that Miller is healthy and ready to pitch. If the blister is indeed a sign of an underlying medical issue, then the Mariners will need to take the necessary steps to get Miller back on the mound as soon as possible.
