Tony Zych experienced elbow pain after throwing a bullpen session on Saturday.
Fantasy Implications: Zych was placed on the 10-day disabled list on August 22 with a right elbow flexor bundle strain. Following a bullpen session Saturday, the 27-year-old reliever felt some soreness, but an MRI exam revealed no structural damage. Zych will attempt another session this weekend. According to manager Scott Servais, "He'll throw another bullpen Saturday. The bullpen he
threw the other day was really good, but
something didn't feel quite right in there. So he got some pictures, and
that was clear, so he should be good to go once he gets it ramped up
again." The Mariners are hoping Zych can return for the last few weeks of the season if this weekend's pitching program goes well. He has been a vital part of the Mariners' bullpen with a 6-3 record, 2.66 ERA and 1.25 WHIP in 45 appearances over 40 2/3 innings.

Jarrod Dyson not in lineup
Jarrod Dyson is not in the lineup for Seattle's game against the Astros on Wednesday.
Fantasy Implications: Dyson will miss his fourth consecutive game because of a strained groin. Guillemo Heredia will take his place in center field and bat ninth.

Shawn O'Malley outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma
Shawn O'Malley was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Fantasy Implications: O'Malley, who had been designated for assignment on Saturday, was outrighted to Tacoma today to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for recently acquired infielder Gordon Beckham. This has been a lost year for the 29-year-old utility infielder because of sundry maladies, including an appendectomy, shoulder injury and a concussion. Consequently, he has been only able to play in 33 minor-league games this year, at three different levels of the Mariner's organization. With the Rainiers, O'Malley appeared in 20 games and was only able to muster a feeble .205/.250/.282 slash line.

Kyle Seager hits solo shot
Kyle Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Seattle's 3-1 loss to the Astros on Tuesday evening.
Fantasy Implications: Seager's homer, his second in as many nights, accounted for all of Seattle's offensive production. It was the 29-year-old third baseman's 21st dinger on the year, and the sixth consecutive season he has hit 20 or more homers. His .253 AVG, 72 RBIs and 58 R make Seager a viable option in most fantasy formats.

James Pazos credited with loss
James Pazos (4-5) faced two men over one-third of an inning, allowing one earned run on no hits and one walk in Seattle's 3-1 defeat to the Astros Tuesday night. He was credited with the loss.
Fantasy Implications: Pazos was called to start the seventh inning and protect a 1-1 tie. After getting Carlos Beltran to fly out to left, Pazos then walked Brian McCann. Pazos was then relieved by Emilio Pagan, and McCann was pinch-run for by Derek Fisher. Fisher then came around to score on Cameron Maybin's two-run homer, thereby pinning the loss on Pazos. The 26-year-old southpaw has now allowed two earned runs in his last two games, but had allowed none in his previous eight appearances. For the year, he has a 3.62 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 10.5 K/9 and a high 4.2 BB/9. With only seven holds and no saves, Pazos offers no fantasy value at this time.

Emilio Pagan coughs up game winner
Emilio Pagan surrendered a two-run homer to Cameron Maybin in Seattle's 3-1 loss to the Astros Tuesday evening. It was the lone hit he allowed over two-thirds of an inning. He walked none and struck out none.
Fantasy Implications: Pagan was summoned with one out in the seventh inning after James Pazos walked Brian McCann. Maybin, the first batter Pagan faced, blasted a 94 mph over the left-center field wall for a two-run homer which proved to be the game winner (and Houston's first hit of the game), thereby saddling Pazos with the loss. Pagan has now yielded an earned run in each of his last four appearances. Yet his 8.4 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9 over that span still bodes well for the 26-year-old reliever. He sports an acceptable 3.24 ERA and an excellent 0.96 WHIP for the campaign. Pagan holds fantasy value only in deep leagues that count holds.

Ariel Miranda hurls hitless ball
Ariel Miranda allowed no hits but gave up one run on six walks while striking out five over six innings in Seattle's 3-1 loss to the Astros Tuesday evening. He did not factor into the decision.
Fantasy Implications: Miranda was lifted despite allowing no hits, needing 112 pitches to get through his six innings of work. The 27-year old southpaw has had trouble with his control lately, walking 10 men over 15 innings in his last three starts. In his previous 15 starts, Miranda has also been subject to the long ball, delivering 25 taters over 83.0 innings (2.7 HR/9). With a 4.72 ERA, he provides little fantasy upside. Miranda's next scheduled start is Monday against the Rangers at Globe Life Park in Arlington.
