Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales will make his return from the injured list June 1 with a start against the Athletics, according to manager Scott Servais (via Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times). The Mariners are easing Gonzales back in, as the plan is for him to pitch three to four innings.
Gonzales hasn’t taken the mound since April 27 on account of a forearm strain, but considering the nature of the injury, it’s a relief that he’ll only miss just over a month. The 29-year-old put up a brutal two starts to open his 2021, but he was beginning to round into form before heading to the IL. In his three most recent starts, Gonzales surrendered just five earned runs on 10 hits in 18 innings, and he totaled 15 strikeouts against six walks.
Overall this year, Gonzales has recorded a 5.40 ERA/4.85 SIERA with a 19.0 percent strikeout rate against a 9.1 percent walk rate in 28 1/3 innings. Those aren’t impressive numbers, but the 29-year-old showed he’s a quality starter from 2018-20, especially last season. Gonzales tied the Cubs’ Kyle Hendricks for the lowest walk percentage (2.5) among qualified starters in 2020, helping him to a 3.10 ERA over 69 2/3 frames.
Boring
Yes, your post is
It is snark… connected to comments made by former Mariner team President.

Yes, Marco Gonzales even has “Very boring” on his Twitter. Nice to see he has a sense of humor about himself.
Was Greg Maddux boring? Was Jamie Moyer boring? Neither is Marco Gonzales.
Me before interleague play: excited to see Greg Maddux
Me after interleague play: efffffff
Too bad there’s no post about the Pirates so we would have a place to talk about that sub-Little League play today.
That was absurd! Baez is amazing, and the Pirates are…not.
I’ve never, ever, seen a play where there was a rundown between 1st and home. Not even in little league. Heck, not even in peewee league when everyone was like 4-5 y.o.
And there were TWO OUTS.
@mlb1225 i didn’t catch that game but you mean to tell me no one was covering 1st and you needed a run down. now i may be an idiot but isn’t 1st always an auto force out, heck the rf or ss couldn’t run in and cover 1st. (i left out the sp and 2b because i’m assuming they were part of the rundown). if that’s the type of play nutt is okay with then i understand why no one in pitt goes to a game. if that kind of play is okay to nutt then he needs his team stripped away because all he is doing is running historic franchise into the dirt. the sports fans of pit deserve a better owner, fans of pit will show up if you put a decent product out on the field not this crap that nutt is putting out.
disregard my last comment i watched the replay on that game, wtf are fundamentals just lost in bb now all he had to do is backpedal and touch the bag and boom out of the inning. everyone from the coaching staff to the pos owner should be fired. that is a play toddlers make not pros, i really feel for pit fans.
Jedi mind trick.
i hated to see marco go and oneail is starting to come around but set. made it right by taking mike leake of our hands.
