Bryan Woo will make his return for the Seattle Mariners on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels; it will be his first start since June 24 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Seattle Mariners' pitching staff will be finally back to full strength this week, and it couldn't happen at a better time.
Woo made a rehab start on July 6 with the team's High-A Everett AquaSox and went 2.2 innings. He let up a two-run home run but also struck out two batters.manager Scott Servais mentioned in a pregame interview on July 4 that he expected Woo to make another rehab start. But Woo felt physically well enough after the rehab assignment for the Mariners to throw him back into the rotation before the All-Star Break.
Woo revealed in a postgame interview with Chad Greaby after his rehab start that he's working on a new slider. Woo will enter Friday's start with a 1.77 ERA and 28 strikeouts in eight starts this year. He will face former Seattle pitcher Tyler Anderson, who has a 2.81 ERA this season with 77 strikeouts in 18 starts.
