Strickland (lat) will make at least one more rehab appearance with Triple-A Tacoma this week before the Mariners consider activating him from the 60-day injured list, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland made his second rehab appearance with the affiliate Tuesday, striking out two of the five batters he faced but allowing a solo home run along with another hit. While the Mariners are encouraged with how Strickland has looked on the health front, manager Scott Servais said the reliever won't be activated until he shows more polish with his secondary pitches. Strickland previously said that he hopes to be reinstated from the IL at some point this weekend during the Mariners' home series with the Tigers, but a return next week during Seattle's road trip could be a more realistic target.

Strickland (lat) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list during the Mariners' upcoming road trip, which begins June 30 in Texas, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland began a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Tacoma and delivered a scoreless inning while reaching 98 mph with his fastball. According to Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle, the 30-year-old is scheduled to pitch again Tuesday and make one additional rehab outing before rejoining the Mariners next week.

Strickland (lat) worked a scoreless inning while walking one in a rehab outing with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Mike Curto, Tacoma's broadcaster, reported that Strickland hit 97 and 98 mph with his fastball. That's a good sign that Strickland is healthy and nearing a return to the big-league club. The appearance was his first live action since March 29, so he may still be a few outings away from factoring into Seattle's bullpen. However, once he does, he could be in consideration for save opportunities.

Strickland (lat) will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland was cleared to throw live batting practice Wednesday, and after faring well in that throwing session, he's been given the green light to start a minor-league assignment. He's expected to make three appearances for the Rainiers and will then be activated during Seattle's weekend series with Detroit if all goes according to plan.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland completed a bullpen session Saturday with no restrictions and may head to the minors for a rehab assignment if all goes well Wednesday. The 30-year-old has been sidelined since late March with the Grade 2 right lat strain and figures to require multiple outings in the minors given the length of his absence.

Strickland (lat) threw a successful bullpen session prior to Saturday's game against the Angels, Sarah Wexler of MLB.com reports. "Outstanding," said manager Scott Servais. "Looked really, really good. I went down and watched it myself. He threw 25 pitches, no reservations, did not hold back at all. The ball was coming out hot, and the breaking ball was really good as well."

EDGE Analysis

The veteran reliever appears to finally be over the hump in his recovery, and as previously reported, he'll now progress to throwing live batting practice. That session will unfold at Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday, and if all goes well, it's likely Strickland sticks around with the Rainiers for a rehab assignment of to-be-determined duration.

Strickland (lat) will throw a bullpen session Saturday in Anaheim, Sarah Wexler of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Assuming the session goes well, Strickland will then fly to Tacoma to throw live batting practice to the Rainiers at some point during the week, likely Wednesday. The veteran reliever should be in line for a multi-appearance rehab assignment before activation.

Strickland (lat) is scheduled to join the Mariners on their five-game road trip that begins Friday and will throw a bullpen and live-batting practice during that time, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland received the green light to travel with Seattle after completing a 20-pitch bullpen session without incident over the weekend. He'll see how his strained right lat muscle holds up during two additional throwing sessions within the next 10 days before the Mariners potentially map out a minor-league rehab assignment for him. Strickland, who has been on the shelf since late March, could be ready to return from the 60-day injured list by the end of July.

Strickland (lat) felt "awesome" after throwing a 20-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland did light throwing off the mound throughout the week in advance of Saturday's more aggressive session. The 30-year-old is set to take a few days off for the All-Star break before throwing another bullpen session while he continues building up his arm strength.

Strickland (lat) reported no issues Thursday stemming from his light bullpen session Wednesday and remains on track for a more aggressive regimen Saturday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Strickland got a bit of a jump on his mound work with his session Wednesday, and it ultimately appears to have served as a good litmus test for his readiness to throw a longer and more aggressive session Saturday. The veteran right-hander is beginning to gain some momentum in his recovery after originally suffering his injury March 29 against the Red Sox.
