Gabe Speier's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Seattle Mariners left-hander Gabe Speier (shoulder) threw 14 pitches in a minor-league rehab appearance with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, July 12, allowing two hits and a walk in an inning of work. "It went well. The [velocity] was a tick down than what we are used to seeing," manager Scott Servais said. "Which is very normal, since it's been almost six weeks since he's been out there." He'll have another throwing session in Arizona soon, and the team will gauge the likelihood of Speier returning to the active roster following this week's All-Star break. The goal is to have him for the first series of the second half against the division-rival Houston Astros, which begins on Friday. The 29-year-old southpaw had a 6.06 ERA and 1.47 WHIP with 22 K's and 10 walks in 16 1/3 innings out of the 'pen for the M's this year before suffering a left rotator-cuff strain.
