PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryce Miller ended his first bullpen session in three weeks early after feeling some discomfort in his left oblique.
Miller threw a handful of warmup pitches, took a break and then elected not to throw any full-effort pitches after ramping up his session, according to reports.
Miller has been sidelined since Feb. 26, and is running out of time to appear in any more Cactus League games. He has made one start for Seattle this spring, and has two weeks before the Mariners begin their season on March 26.
“He’s definitely behind,” Mariners general manager Justin Hollander told reporters. “It’s the type of injury where it seems wise not to push him too fast. Obviously, we won’t make any decisions until we need to.”
Hollander added he was “really happy” that Miller was honest with the team, and decided to stop his bullpen session.
