Hunter Strickland, Felix Hernandez Throw Bullpens Thursday
Hunter Strickland (lat) and starting pitcher Felix Hernandez (lat) both threw successful bullpen sessions on Thursday. Strickland will throw another one on Sunday and expects to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma next week. Strickland is obviously closer to a return than Hernandez and should retake the closer role when he returns from a bullpen that has struggled in his absence. Strickland should be scooped up now if you're in need of saves. Hernandez, 33, is 1-4 on the year with a 6.52 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 34 strikeouts in 38 2/3 innings over eight starts and has little left in the tank for fantasy owners these days.
