| Player Notes |
| May 24, 2006 Even though J.J. Putz leads the Mariners with six saves, Mike Hargrove has still not named him the official closer, according to the team website. "I never said Putz was the closer. I've been very careful not to name J.J. the closer," said Hargrove. Eddie Guardado recorded his first save for the M's in three and a half weeks. |
| May 8, 2006 After Eddie Guardado was pulled from the role, Mariners manager Mike Hargrove had said he planned to use a closer-by-committee approach, but he announced yesterday that J.J. Putz will get most, if not all, of the closing calls until further notice, according to the Seattle Times. "Right now, we'll go with Putz as much as we can," Hargrove said. |
| May 6, 2006 With Eddie Guardado removed from closing duties, the Mariners called on J.J. Putz in the ninth inning of Saturday's game. Putz picked up his third save of the season with a scoreless inning, while walking one and striking out one. |
| May 4, 2006 Because of an ineffective Eddie Guardado, J.J. Putz and others will be part of a closer-by-committee in Seattle, according to the AP. Putz has two saves and a 2.30 ERA in 15 games for the Mariners this year. |
| March 4, 2006 J.J. Putz, who has been battling lower back spasms, threw 25 fastballs in the bullpen Friday and said he felt fine, according to the Seattle Times. He expects to throw 40 pitches in a bullpen session Sunday. |
| February 24, 2006 J.J. Putz threw batting practice on Thursday, according to the Seattle Times. Putz had been sidelined with back spasms the last two days, but he said that his condition has improved. "I probably shouldn't have thrown that day; it was stupid," he said. "But you don't want to start backing off, or else you'll be doing that a lot more than you have to." |
| February 23, 2006 J.J. Putz was unable to work out yesterday due to back spasms, according to the Seattle Times. He's day-to-day. |
