Shae Simmons worked around one hit to pitch a scoreless ninth inning in Seattle's 10-2 win over Oakland. He also struck out two in the non-save situation.
Fantasy Implications: Simmons, who had been battling a forearm injury since pitching in a March 11 spring-training game, finally made his Mariners' debut. The 27-year-old right-hander was forced to miss the entire 2015 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery while a member of the Braves' organization. He pitched well in the seven appearances with Atlanta in 2016, posting a 1.35 ERA and 0.90 WHIP, albeit over only 6 2/3 innings of work. Simmons was the 40th pitcher used by Seattle this year, tying a Major-League record held by the Rangers in 2014.
