Could always be worse, I suppose.

For Felix, it’s disheartening that it’s the same injury as earlier in the year. That can’t be good long-term for his right shoulder.
For Phelps, that sounds fairly optimistic, but keep in mind that an elbow impingement can have a wide range of recovery times.
A few more details here:
#Mariners say RHP Felix Hernandez (shoulder) to miss 3-4 weeks, and RHP David Phelps (elbow) to miss 2-3 weeks. https://t.co/7WEkpMGhl2

In better news, Phelps going to the DL makes roster space to add Mr. Yonder Alonso.
#Mariners add INF Yonder Alonso to the active roster. RHP David Phelps placed on the 10-day disabled list.
