Mariners

There’s the lineup above for today’s game against the Giants in Peoria.

Now for a few notes:

—- Robinson Cano has returned to the Dominican Republic for a few days to take care of what manager Lloyd McClendon said was an expected personal issue. He will return on Tuesday, following the team’s off day on Monday;

— Corey Hart is back in the lineup for a second straight day after returning from a back issue. McClendon said he made it through Friday’s game fine and appears healthy again;

— Abraham Almonte is again leading off, a role he has had consistently throughout spring. But McClendon said there remain 5-6 possibilities for the leadoff spot once the season begins;

— Roenis Elias, a left-hander, will get another start tomorrow against the Angels, and McClendon said he remains in the mix for the rotation. Scott Baker, who had been scheduled to start, will go in a minor league game as he has faced the Angels twice this spring already;

— Brandon Maurer continues to struggle with some back issues and will be out another 6-7 days, which McClendon acknowledged is “not good” for his hopes of making the team out of spring training;

— Stephen Pryor made it through a live bullpen session Friday just fine, McClendon said, and is on track to throw in a minor league game in the next day or two;

— Taijuan Walker had a long toss session Friday that went well, McClendon said, and will have another bullpen session Sunday. McClendon said, though, there remains no ETA for when he will pitch in a game, saying “let’s get through this week and see where we are.”
