“I just felt it on that last pitch. It tightened up,” Woo told reporters Tuesday. “… Didn’t feel like I could push off the way I wanted to. … I kind of didn’t really know what was going on. I just knew it felt different than anything I felt before, so I wanted to be extra cautious about it.”
In a related roster move, the Mariners recalled right-hander Collin Snider from Triple-A Tacoma. Snider has a 3.60 ERA in five games.
Woo is 3-1 with a 1.77 ERA thought eight starts this season.
It’s the latest injury setback for Woo, who was scratched ahead of his scheduled start on June 11 due to discomfort in his right forearm. He spent the first month of the season on the injured list with elbow inflammation, returning May 10.
“Frustrated. Disappointed,” Woo said. “Obviously been a tough season so far, just dealing with injuries. Finally feeling good, ball’s coming out well, stuff is getting back to where I feel like it could be and then … It sucks.”
