Woo didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's victory over the White Sox, allowing an earned run on three hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Woo was capped at four innings during his return from a stint on the injured list due to forearm inflammation. The rookie right-hander pounded 43 of 65 pitches in for strikes and settled in nicely after giving up an RBI single to Andrew Vaughn in the first inning. Now apparently back to full health, Woo looks like he could go long enough to qualify for a decision in his next start, which is tentatively scheduled for either Sunday against the Royals or Monday versus the Athletics.

The Mariners will likely limit Woo to four innings Tuesday against the White Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woo was just activated from the injured list after missing 18 days with a forearm injury, and since he didn't go on a rehab assignment, the team will be cautious with his workload in this first start back. He is a solid add in fantasy going forward, but don't expect Woo to qualify for a win in Tuesday's start.

Woo was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Tuesday against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Woo missed almost three weeks with right forearm inflammation. The rookie did not need a rehab assignment after the Mariners were pleased with how his bullpen sessions went. As he works himself back from the injured list, his workload may be monitored. The starting pitcher returns as Emerson Hancock heads to the 60-day injured list.

Woo (forearm) is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
It had been anticipated that Woo would start at some point during the series with the White Sox that kicks off Monday night, and he is now on track to take the ball Tuesday night. Woo did not head out on a rehab assignment, so he should be relatively stretched out. However, expect the Mariners to be cautious with him in his first game back.

Woo (forearm) may be activated to start in the Mariners' three-game set against the White Sox beginning Monday after recovering well from Thursday's 20-pitch bullpen session, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Scott Servais confirmed Woo was feeling "really good" Saturday -- about 48 hours removed from the session -- and was projected to be activated to start either Tuesday or Wednesday against the White Sox. However, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports the Mariners' short-term pitching plans may have to be adjusted with Emerson Hancock potentially heading to the injured list due to a lat strain that forced his early exit from Sunday's start. Per Divish, that will definitively scrap Seattle's plans for a six-man rotation for the moment, and it may require the team to add a reliever for at least a couple of games before Woo is reinstated.

Woo (forearm) is on track to rejoin the Mariners' rotation early next week against the White Sox, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woo will throw what's expected to be a 30-pitch bullpen session Thursday and, as long he comes out of it with no issues, will be back with Seattle next week as part of a six-man rotation. The rookie right-hander has missed most of August with right forearm inflammation.

Woo (forearm) is slated to throw a 30-pitch bullpen session ahead of Thursday's series finale against the Royals, the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Mariners will assess Woo's progress once they have a chance to observe how he recovers from the session. The forearm swelling Woo was experiencing has mostly subsided and he's been playing catch in recent days, so he remains optimistic of potentially being able to return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday.

Woo (forearm) played catch Monday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
EDGE Analysis
It has been less than a week since Woo landed on the injured list, and he has already been given the green light to throw, which backs up last week's report that the Mariners are not concerned about the injury. Woo could throw a bullpen session soon, and barring any setbacks could rejoin Seattle's rotation as early as next week.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that there are "no real concerns" with Woo's right forearm, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Woo was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday afternoon due to right forearm inflammation, but Hollander called that a precautionary move and expressed optimism that the 23-year-old will only have to miss a couple of weeks. Emerson Hancock is getting the call Wednesday to fill the rotation vacancy in Seattle.

Seattle placed Woo on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right forearm inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
The severity of the issue is unclear, but Woo will miss at least a couple of turns through the rotation. The 23-year-old right-hander has turned in a 4.75 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 60:17 K:BB in his first 11 major-league starts covering 55 innings. Emerson Hancock is likely to be called up from Double-A Arkansas to replace Woo in the rotation on Wednesday versus the Padres.
