Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Felix Hernandez is "feeling good" a day after leaving his start against the Yankees early after tweaking his back

Hernandez tweaked his back while fielding a ground ball and turning and throwing to second base in the sixth. He would have come out for the seventh if not for the minor ailment. It's not expected to affect his next start, though. "He's good," Wedge said. "He said it was pretty sore this morning, but he feels good, and [trainer Rick Griffin] felt he got him in a good place after the game last night. He's feeling good today, so we should be fine."

Felix Hernandez struck out eight while tossing six innings of one-run ball but suffered a no-decision in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

King Felix gave up just five hits and walked a pair. He had thrown 97 pitches and probably would have continued in the seventh inning if not for what appeared to be a minor leg injury that he suffered in the sixth. It might have cost the M's a win, as the Yanks plated the tying and go-ahead runs in the seventh. Assuming the leg ailment is no big deal, Hernandez, who owns a 1.53 ERA and 0.93 WHIP, will face the Indians Sunday.

Felix Hernandez will make his next start Tuesday against the Yankees.

The Mariners had an off-day on Thursday and another one on Monday, so King Felix will move up in the rotation. Hisashi Iwakuma will start Wednesday while Aaron Harang will toe the rubber on Thursday.

Felix Hernandez pitched eight innings of one-run ball to defeat the Pirates on Wednesday.

Tom Wilhelmsen finished the 2-1 game with a scoreless ninth. Hernandez, who moved to 5-2 with a 1.53 ERA, was at just 97 pitches through eight, so it was a little surprising the Mariners didn't leave him in. It makes four times this year in which he's pitched exactly eight innings. He's yet to work into the ninth.

Felix Hernandez dominated the Blue Jays for eight shutout frames in a 4-0 win on Friday.

King Felix was absolutely dealing, as he held the Jays to just five hits (four of them singles) and no walks while striking out seven batters. He has allowed just two earned runs over his last four starts and now owns a brilliant 1.60 ERA and 51/7 K/BB ratio on the year. Hernandez currently lines up to face the Athletics next week at home.

Felix Hernandez pitched eight innings and allowed two runs -- one earned -- in beating the Angels on Saturday.

Chris Iannetta homered for the lone earned run. The other followed an error from catcher Jesus Montero. Hernandez was done after 95 pitches tonight. We wonder if he might not have gone the distance if not for his recent back stiffness.

Felix Hernandez is nursing some minor back stiffness.

It didn't show during Monday's six shutout innings, though it could partly explain why he was pulled from the game relatively early. Unless the injury gets worse over the next few days, King Felix will be fine for his next outing.
