Mariners trainer Rob Nodine said Thursday that he doesn't expect Stephen Pryor (lat) to be game-ready until several months into the season. Pryor is recovering slowly from last August's surgery that involved his right lat being re-attached. He just recently resumed throwing and will be brought along slowly. "There's been very few of these injuries that have been surgically repaired," Nodine said. "A lot will depend on when he ramps up his throwing program and gets off the mound. Hopefully it will be somewhere around the end of May, we're guessing, but we'll see how that goes. We're not going to hold him to a timetable, just because we want to see how this progresses."
