Ryon Healy (hand) could be ready to go by Opening Day for Seattle
Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy (hand) has been cleared to hit off a tee and could be ready to go on Opening Day, per manager Scott Servais.
What It Means:
Healy is ahead of schedule as he was initially pegged to out for at least the first week of the season following surgery to remove a bone spur in his hand. The 25-year-old is expected to be the team's everyday first baseman following a trade from the Oakland A's this offseason.
Our models project Healy for a .252 batting average, 20 homers, 69 RBI, and a 23.4% strikeout rate in 563 plate appearances in 2018.
