Seattle Mariners closer Hunter Strickland is facing a lengthy absence after he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 lat strain on Sunday and the fallout behind him looks quite dicey given the mediocre options behind him in terms of picking up saves. Nick Rumbelow earned a one-out save on Saturday for the M's but Anthony Swarzak could be the guy once he comes off the DL on Tuesday. Until Swarzak gets himself into shape, look for the Mariners to use a committee that will include Rumbelow, Matt Festa, and Cory Gearrin. In other words, avoid this mess if you can do so.
