A late addition on a tweet from Tom Haudricourt on the condition of injured Boone Logan:

CC said Logan has shoulder/triceps issue of unknown severity.

A late-night trip to visit the Mariners completes a day/night double header against two different teams as the Milwaukee Brewers of Maryvale (17-7-2) face the Seattle Mariners (11-14) of Peoria (Arizona, not Illinois). The Brewers took the first game in Maryvale against the A’s this afternoon in walk-off fashion, 4-3.

The second lefty of the day goes for the Crew as Brent Suter gets the late game to try and move it along. The M’s will go with righty Mike Leake. Leake is a familiar face and arm to the Brewers, having spent much of his career in the NL Central with the Reds and the Cardinals. He pitched well for the M’s after his acquisition late last season, going 3-1 in 5 starts with a good WHIP of 1.063 and ERA of 2.25. This will be Leake’s sixth start this spring, and he carries an ERA of 5.19 and 1.50 WHIP.
