Gregory Santos, a pitcher for the Mariners, has been ruled out for the opening day due to a mild lat strain. The injury occurred after Santos felt a pinch in his lat area during a bullpen session on Monday, leading to an immediate shutdown by the Mariners' training staff. An MRI confirmed the strain, and while Santos was not expected to be ready for opening day even before this setback, Hollander mentioned the injury is now officially sidelining him for weeks, not days. This development is a blow to the Mariners as they prepare for the season's start.
Luis Severino says he felt "pretty good" in tonight's outing and the focus going forward is increasing the pitch count in time for the start of the season & Carlos Mendoza provides an update on Brett Baty, Kodai Senga's injuries #Mets https://t.co/KnSF9elcu8

These are fake games, but... Luis Severino went another 4 IP, 1 ER today, which fits right in line with what New York's rotation has done so far this spring. Through 17 games, Mets starters own a 2.18 ERA. That's by far the best in baseball. (Marlins are next at 2.68.)
Mets are planning to wait an extra week beyond March 15 (the original target) for Kodai Senga to begin throwing: "But that doesn't mean he's having any setback," Carlos Mendoza said. "We want to make sure that before he picks up a baseball he's strong and we're comfortable."
The word on Mets’ Kodai Senga’s health continues to be, by all accounts, very positive.

Mariners' Gregory Santos Suffers Lat Strain, Won't Be Ready For Opening Day https://t.co/3cK9p7Urss https://t.co/sqTcrdsZNC
Santos was not likely to be ready for opening day before the setback. He immediately shut it down after feeling the pinch which is good. Shouldn’t be down for long, but talking weeks, not days according to Hollander.
