With rehab stint over, Mariners option Rowland-Smith to Tacoma


Posted at 3:34 pm by By Kirby Arnold

The Mariners' pitchers are on the field for PFP (pitchers fielding practice), and lets hope they don't wear down relievers Mark Lowe, Sean White and David Aardsma any more than they already are. Those guys already are nosing toward highs in innings pitched and the Mariners can't afford a bullpen meltdown as they progress toward the later stages of the season.

But that's a topic for another time.

The news of the moment concerns left-hander Ryan Rowland-Smith, who made one start before landing on the disabled list with triceps tendinitis. He started five games for Class AAA Tacoma on a rehab stint, going 1-3 with a 6.92 ERA, and with him reaching the rehab max, the Mariners have optioned him to the Rainiers.

Technically, the Mariners recalled him from his rehab assignment, activated him from the DL, then optioned him to Tacoma. The gist of it is that Rowland-Smith will remain with the Rainiers and work on the consistency he needs in the big leagues.

He allowed 20 earned runs in his five rehab starts, although 12 came in one game.
