The Mariners have pushed back Felix Hernandez's return from an elbow injury another six days. He's now scheduled to return May 15 against the Angels.
Of course, it's better than 50-50 that he'll be pushed back again. "He's fine, but we feel this is the smart thing to do with him, and he felt comfortable with it," manager Mike Hargrove said. "He will throw a simulated game on Tuesday [in Detroit], have another bullpen on the 11th, and if everything goes well, he'll start on the 15th." The Mariners are doing the right thing by being careful here. What they did wrong was to keep setting dates for his return in the first place. First it was May 4, then May 9 and now May 15.
Da Cherries blame the Cyclones for this.

Mark Hargrove: next Defense Secretary? "He's fine, but we feel this is the smart thing to do with him, and he felt comfortable with it."
Further evidence:
Manager Mike Hargrove said Sunday that Jeff Weaver will remain in the rotation.
Weaver dropped to 0-5 Saturday by allowing six runs against the Yankees and is scheduled to face the Tigers Tuesday. "He was much more effective and more in command of his pitches than at any time so far," Hargrove said. "So yeah, I think he deserves another start." Yeah, "deserves."
