Silva out of M's start against Yankees
Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva has been scratched from his start against the New York Yankees because of stiffness in his back.
Mariners pitcher Carlos Silva has been scratched from his start against the New York Yankees because of stiffness in his back.
Left-hander Ryan Feierabend got the start Sunday instead. He had been scheduled to pitch on Wednesday.
Silva said he has sharp pain in his upper back. The right-hander first felt the ache on Saturday during a workout. He came in Sunday morning and told team trainers and manager Jim Riggleman he could not start.
Silva is 4-14 with a 6.53 ERA in his first season after signing a $48 million, four-year contract with Seattle. He returned last Monday from two weeks on the disabled list with tendinitis in his pitching elbow.
