Felix Hernandez is expected to miss three-to-four weeks according to Mariners' officials. A doctor's examination on Monday confirms that the 31-year-old right-hander is suffering bursitis in his right shoulder, the same ailment that forced him to miss approximately two months of action earlier this year.
Fantasy Implications: Hernandez' injury comes at an inopportune time for Seattle, and leaves a void in the team's relatively thin starting pitching staff. It is expected that Marco Gonzalez and Erasmo Ramirez will fill in until Hernandez is able to return. King Felix was pitching suitably as of late. In his last five games he has compiled a 3.10 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 9.6/3.1 K/BB.
