Felix Hernandez

Seattle's Felix Hernandez (shoulder) to return the rotation on Friday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation on Friday versus the Houston Astros.

What It Means:

Hernandez last pitched on April 25, missing the last six-plus weeks with shoulder discomfort. He may not be the best option to start in his first game back, as he may be on a limited pitch count and is facing the best team in baseball.

In 5 starts 926 2/3 innings pitched) Hernadez posted a 3.56 SIERA with 22 strikeouts and only 3 walks.
