Mariners' Bryan Woo: Available in relief for Game 5
Rotowire
Woo will be available out of the bullpen Friday in Game 5 of the ALCS versus the Blue Jays, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.
Woo had been a candidate to start Game 5, but the Mariners will instead turn to Bryce Miller for their final home game of the series. The 25-year-old Woo has not appeared in a game since Sept. 19 due to right pectoral inflammation, but he's healthy now and will give Seattle some length in relief, if needed.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Tentatively in line for Game 5
Rotowire
Woo (pectoral) is tentatively lined up to start Game 5 of the ALCS against the Blue Jays, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Woo was not on the Mariners' ALDS roster as he works his way back from right pectoral inflammation, but he is on the ALCS roster and had a successful live batting practice session Monday that he referred to as "a huge positive." If he recovers well from live BP, it sounds as though Woo will start on Friday in Game 5, if necessary. If that happens, he will have gone nearly a month between starts, as Woo's last appearance came Sept. 19 against the Astros.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Set for bullpen session
Rotowire
Woo (pectoral) will throw a live bullpen session Monday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
Woo was officially added to the ALCS roster during the weekend, and he'll now look to prove his health with a bullpen session ahead of Game 2 of the series. The right-hander suffered a pectoral injury in mid-September, and he's yet to make his 2025 postseason debut.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Included on ALCS roster
Rotowire
The Mariners added Woo (pectoral) to their active roster for the ALCS against the Blue Jays, Tim Booth of The Seattle Times reports.
President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto indicated Saturday that Woo was expected to make the roster after sitting out the past few weeks due to pectoral inflammation, so it's not a surprise the right-hander is active for the championship series. The 25-year-old was Seattle's best starting pitcher during the regular season with a 2.94 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 198:36 K:BB across 186.2 innings, but he likely won't be available to pitch for the Mariners until later in the week when the series shifts to Seattle after the first two games in Toronto.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Expected to make ALCS roster
Rotowire
President of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Saturday that Woo (pectoral) is expected to be included on the Mariners' ALCS roster, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Woo threw a bullpen session Friday as the latest step in his recovery from right pectoral inflammation, and the Mariners seemingly are pleased enough with his progress to feel comfortable including him in their pitching plans for the ALCS against Toronto. Dipoto noted that the 25-year-old righty likely won't be available for the first few games of the series, so his postseason debut will presumably come after the series moves to Seattle for Games 3 and 4.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Throwing bullpen Friday
Rotowire
Woo (pectoral) is throwing a bullpen session ahead of Game 5 of the ALDS versus the Tigers on Friday, the results of which should dictate whether he'll be included on the Mariners' roster for the ALCS, should they advance, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
The right-hander was sidelined for the closing stretch of the regular season due to minor inflammation in his right pectoral and was left off Seattle's roster for the ALDS, but it's possible he's back for the next round of the playoffs. The Mariners still need to win Game 5 against Detroit, of course, but Woo's return would be a big boost for Seattle given his 2.94 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 198:36 K:BB across 186.2 innings during the regular season.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Misses out on ALDS roster
Rotowire
Woo (pectoral) isn't on the Mariners' roster for the ALDS, Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
Woo missed the final couple of weeks of the regular season due to right pectoral inflammation. He tossed a bullpen session Thursday that the Mariners considered successful, but evidently not successful enough to include him in the team's pitching plans for its ALDS matchup against the Tigers. The 25-year-old will be eligible to return in the ALCS if Seattle advances.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Feeling good after bullpen session
Rotowire
Woo's (pectoral) bullpen session went as planned Thursday, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
There weren't many details provided about Woo's throwing session, but it was deemed a success by the team. More details about his availability should come Friday, as the Mariners want to see how Woo is feeling following a day of recovery before announcing their pitching plans for the ALDS.
Woo (pectoral) is slated to throw a bullpen session Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
It will be the first time Woo has thrown off a mound since he suffered a right pectoral injury during his Sept. 19 start in Houston. If the Mariners want Woo to throw at least two bullpen sessions before clearing him to rejoin the rotation, he would not be available to start until Game 3 of the ALDS. More should be known about Woo's status following Thursday's throwing session.
Woo (pectoral) played light catch in the outfield prior to Thursday's game against the Rockies, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Woo was originally slated to start Thursday, but he was instead limited to light throwing. The team didn't release an official update on his status, and he is still considered day-to-day. Per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, Woo's regular season is likely over, and he is targeting Game 2 of the ALDS for a return to the mound.
Woo (pectoral) won't start in his usual rotation spot Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
General manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that the team still doesn't plan to place Woo on the injured list, and that the right-hander will instead play catch Wednesday or Thursday rather than start a game against the Rockies. A better idea of how far away the 25-year-old is from returning will likely emerge after his throwing session.
