The Seattle Mariners are facing a pitching conundrum as they approach their game against the Chicago White Sox, having only four active starting pitchers. With Casey Legumina starting the game as an opener and Casey Lawrence being called up to pitch in relief, the team is adapting its strategy. However, the game is in jeopardy due to expected thunderstorms, which could lead to a postponement. Should that occur, the teams might have to reschedule with a doubleheader the following day, complicating their travel plans before heading to Houston for a new series.
Mariners doing the opener thing tonight with Casey Legumina expected to start. Casey Lawrence is here on the taxi squad, would expect him to be added to the roster and be the bulk guy.
There's one other question mark regarding Tuesday's game, though, which is whether or not it will actually be played. And a postponement might be something the M's are rooting for considering the state of their rotation.
It's expected to be rainy all day in Chicago, with the Weather.com forecast saying 'isolated thunderstorms possible.' The game is set to start at 6:40 p.m. Central time.
If Tuesday's game is postponed, there is the chance they could play a doubleheader Wednesday, but the M's likely want to get out of town as soon as possible.
