Mariners give updates on injured pitchers Bryan Woo and Matt Brash

The optimism, though cautious and controlled, could be heard in general manager Justin Hollander's voice and tone when he provided injury updates for the Mariners players currently on the injured list — specifically starting pitcher Bryan Woo and reliever Matt Brash. While not giving an exactly timetable to their returns, they are both progressing toward starting rehab assignments in the next week to 10 days, moving them closer to rejoining the Mariners pitching staff, possibly by May 1. Brash is working his way back from an elbow strain that he suffered during spring training.
