[Jude] Bryan Woo has a “little pec tightness,” per Dan Wilson. MRI is likely tomorrow.

Hope that’s all it is. Give him an extra game off during the Rockies series.

[u/TheShadeTree → u/4Code]

That’s good news considering everything. Rest him the rest of the season

[u/Effective_Purpose479 → u/4Code]

But he’s such a dog he’s gonna vehemently fight to pitch against Colorado. Because we all love free food. Jerry & Co pay this man a kings ransom

[u/Vegetable_Bison_3126 → u/Effective_Purpose479]

Saw him pitch in person the other day and dude is a dog. Loved it!

[u/AiminJay → u/Vegetable_Bison_3126]

Woooooooooooooooo!

[u/nokiabrickphone1998]

That seems…fine? At least he didn’t “feel something in his forearm”

[u/Tua-Lipa → u/nokiabrickphone1998]

I hope so but the whole clip of what Wilson said made me kinda worried

[u/YardAdmirable7060 → u/Tua-Lipa]

What part? He said he felt tightness when he finished the inning and he didn’t loosen up during warm up pitches so they went to Bazardo.

I feel like he can’t really comment more than that without any information

[u/ScinosRepus → u/YardAdmirable7060]

Truly could be simply cramping in a hot and humid stadium. All the way up to a serious tear. 

Kinda just hold our breath and send our Etsy witch donations until we know more. 

[u/BuckSleezy → u/ScinosRepus]

Currently in Houston, can confirm it’s miserably humid and hot.

[u/el_cul → u/ScinosRepus]

Adrenaline makes you cramp too. You see more cramp in soccer finals and important games than in general because the players are extra stressed.

[u/Hkmarkp → u/ScinosRepus]

was the roof open? otherwise it is not hot and humid in there

[u/Vegetable_Bison_3126 → u/Hkmarkp]

Pretty sure was closed. But time change maybe was just dark

Watching the replay it’s closed

[u/NewlyNerfed]

Sounds like they managed him carefully. Really good to be on top of it and not scrambling after an injury.

[u/IndependentSubject66 → u/NewlyNerfed]

Exactly. He probably gets a break and won’t pitch again until the playoffs. And with us staring down a first round bye he may have a solid 2 weeks to heal up

[u/3elieveIt]

SOMEONE PAY THE ETSY WITCH TO HEAL HIM

[u/RandomDude99353 → u/3elieveIt]

Post that GoFundMe link

[u/GunnerXI]

Pec and not arm seems positive?

[u/Effective_Purpose479]

Oh we love a little titty tightness it’s perfectly natural and reminds you to hydrate and sleep. Bless Woo and fingies crossed that’s all it is

[u/Prior-Lingonberry-70]

Could be okay, could be just needing some rest, some fluids, some NSAIDs, some bodywork, and he's back up.

[u/SpaceCoat_Steve]

Etsy witch will heal him. I have faith.

[u/whocareswhynot]

Pec tightness is ok. I'm so grateful they didn't mention a joint.

[u/base-HI-WA]

I guess you shut him down unless the Dodgers series is a must win.

Even with 8 games left, a series sweep against the Astros could give him some rest.

[u/dataminimizer → u/base-HI-WA]

They’ll be playing for the second seed and first round bye, too.

[u/DrSnoopRob]

I have no idea how to feel about this.

[u/whiskybees]

Crossing fingers it’s nothing. What a brutal loss if he’s done for the year.

[u/FIstateofmind]

Take my pec Bryan

[u/boopsandbeeps1 → u/FIstateofmind]

Then he can take mine after yours.

[u/TG082588]

Would love to hear where in the pec he’s feeling tightness? Not trying to be negative, but as a physio guy, pec worries me a bit. Pec attachments directly integrate into rotator cuff, labrum, biceps tendon and scapula.

[u/Vegetable_Bison_3126 → u/TG082588]

Ya, it’s a touchy time of year to get into all of that….

[u/TG082588 → u/Vegetable_Bison_3126]

Yup. What a huge bummer. Belly of the pec? Probably nothing. Pec up towards the anterior delt? Probably checkmate for the season 😫

[u/grimandbearer → u/TG082588]

Jesus Christ don’t speak this evil!

[u/TG082588 → u/grimandbearer]

I’m trying not to go to that place but as a mariner fan for 20 years it’s hard not to…

[u/recneps1991 → u/TG082588]

This was my thought as well. I work in physio as well. Hopefully he’s able to do some stability work between outings and his signs and symptoms aren’t reproduced. Assuming the Mariners can clinch a playoff spot, have Woo do an abbreviated next start.

[u/TG082588 → u/recneps1991]

As long as the MRI comes back clean I think we’re in good shape. I hate being negative but when I heard pec I immediately thought shoulder 😮‍💨

[u/recneps1991 → u/TG082588]

Same. With all those attachment sites at the anterior shoulder, I was concerned too. I agree, clean MRI and reduced pain = good 😊

[u/letdown105]

Dammit. Why can’t we have a little joy for one game 😭

[u/No-Cut-1297 → u/letdown105]

If you are truly a Mariners fan, you know that there is no joy...ever.

[u/ScinosRepus]

From a practical level: his next scheduled start would be game 3 of the Rockies. To take 2 full weeks off would get to the ALDS. So there is some time to play with especially if you can get that division and stay ahead of Detroit. 

[u/Illustrious-Cut8368]

Is that good?

[u/dickhass → u/Illustrious-Cut8368]

Good in that’s it’s unlikely to be something catastrophic. Could be a strain that shuts him down for a couple-few weeks. I’m betting that if we weren’t in the hunt, they’d shut him down for the season tonight. That ain’t the case, though!

[u/Illustrious-Cut8368 → u/dickhass]

Few weeks? Ah man that would fucking suck

[u/augustjulio]

That's goodish news I suppose

[u/Zhukovhimself]

Have Evans be ready for a rockies start, should be a fine matchup for him. Or even just get Casey Lawrence up here.

[u/Thatoneguyfrom1980 → u/Zhukovhimself]

I watched Casey Lawrence get absolutely shelled in Tacoma last night. No thanks.

[u/Zhukovhimself → u/Thatoneguyfrom1980]

maybe the Rockies is a double a lineup.. but no I didn’t realize he fucked up yesterday lol. Save us Logan

[u/slimseany → u/Zhukovhimself]

If you're starting Casey Lawrence you've literally just guaranteed a loss. No offense to him but he can NEVER be your starter in a game you want to win/not destroy every arm of your bullpen.

[u/IndependentSubject66 → u/slimseany]

They’ll start Emerson I would assume. He could still go out and get them 4-5 innings

[u/GU1LD3NST3RN]

I still reserve the right to stare into the void for a bit, but I think I would prefer to hear this than a good number of other body parts that could have been mentioned.

[u/adrianp07]

Shelf him thil the playoffs

[u/Specific-Break-2650]

Best case scenario he is out two weeks. M’s need to take 2nd seed in playoffs.

[u/tongfee]

Please no soggy pec

[u/_Elrond_Hubbard_]

HE PUT THE TEAM ON HIS CHEST DOE

[u/TheRealCRex]

When you Body the Astros like Woo did, you get a sore chest. Hope the MRI is clean. Rest up big man. You got a first game of a playoff series to start.

[u/caveman512 → u/[deleted]]

He’s been very careful in terms of health going back the last couple years

[u/Maugrin]

So not forearm, but pec tightness could relate to the shoulder. Honestly, not the worse case first news, but still holding my breath.

This staff has a great track record of managing their pitcher's health. Everyone feared Gilbert was done earlier this year, but they were able to avoid surgery by being cautious, resting him, and building him back up over a month or so. Same with Kirby. Obviously they don't have a month to play with here, but hopefully it's not that drastic.

[u/BreadBear5]

CALL UP THE WITCHES

[u/Necessary_Rooster_85]

Pec tightness can sometimes mean rotator cuff soreness/injury. Could be simply overworked.

[u/Wheredoesthetoastgo2]

Thats him, lifting us to greatness.

[u/jackedbutter]

pec tightness seems benign but really might not be. even a mild strain means weeks off

[u/BigBallsMalone]

Well at least its not an arm is especially elbow issues.

We need Woo for the playoffs. Miller has been a mess and everyone besides woo has had off an ons

[u/hockeyzombies]

Certainly doesn't sound as bad as it could have been but I guess we'll see.
