Mariners' Eugenio Suarez: Begins taking light swings
Suarez (finger) was able to start taking light swings Wednesday with a softer ball and regular baseballs, the Associated Press reports. "Geno feels much better," manager Scott Servais said.

If all continues without setbacks, it's possible Suarez will have the chance to get some at-bats in before the conclusion of the regular season ahead of the Mariners' likely postseason run.
