"Right-hander won't be part of the Mariners' AL Division Series roster, according to the Seattle Times' Adam Jude. "The club is optimistic Woo will be available in the ALCS if they do advance," Jude writes, though Seattle's path to the next round will be trickier without their most consistent pitcher from the 2025 season. Woo's postseason status has been a question mark since September 19, when the righty left a start after five innings due to pectoral tightness."
"The M's didn't place Woo on the 15-day injured list, which was viewed as a sign that the injury wasn't overly serious, and that the team was just being cautious in shutting Woo down in advance of what became an increasingly likely playoff berth in the final stretch of September."
"The fact that the Mariners won the AL West and secured a first-round bye only added to the hope that Woo would be ready once the postseason got underway. More to come..."
Right-hander Woo will not be part of the Mariners' AL Division Series roster. The club is optimistic Woo will be available in the ALCS if they advance. Woo exited a start on September 19 after five innings because of pectoral tightness, creating a postseason availability question. The Mariners did not place Woo on the 15-day injured list, signaling the injury was not judged overly serious and that the team opted for a cautious shutdown late in September. Winning the AL West and securing a first-round bye increased hope he would be ready when the postseason began. Status remains uncertain.
