Although the relief issues are real for Seattle, the approach with Woo is also understandable. He has a history of elbow problems, missing time last season with inflammation. Furthermore, he also missed at the beginning of this season with the same issue. One of the most valuable young pieces on the roster, the M's can't afford to have Woo miss any more time. Furthermore, he threw 87.2 innings at the big league level last season and the M's likely don't want to extend him exponentially beyond that this year. While he's sure to throw more than that, it's smart to manage the innings and pitches where you can.
Woo entered play on Sunday with a 2-0 record and an ERA of just 0.57. He got a no-decision on Sunday, giving up three earned runs over six innings. He threw 70 pitches.Follow Inside the Mariners on social media
