Good morning! I regret to inform you that it is Monday. The bright side is that there’s only about a week left of practice baseball before the real games start. Woohoo! But, yes, it is still currently Monday. I’m sorry.
In Mariners News...
- Update on Ichiro, Cano, Cruz, and Romine:
Ichiro will play in Minor League game, possibly today, to get some extra at-bats, but won't run due to sore calf. Hope is that he, Cano, Cruz and Romine all could return to Cactus games on Wednesday (after Tuesday off day).

- Jason Vargas will miss the beginning of the season:
Jason Vargas will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair the fractured bone in his right hand, the Mets announced. He'll resume throwing five days post-surgery. It is safe to assume, then, that he'll miss the start of the regular season -- but not necessarily a big chunk of it.
