MLB.com: [Miguel] Batista’s health issues surprise Mariners

If veteran pitcher Miguel Batista experiences any sort of physical discomfort, interim manager Jim Riggleman, pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre and the training staff would like to know about it. They were surprised to learn of the health issues Batista talked about following the brief and ineffective outing against the Mets on Wednesday night in New York. The right-hander surrendered eight runs in 2 2/3 innings in a game Seattle lost.

As of Friday night, there were no plans to put Batista on the 15-day disabled list.

Lee Pelekoudas, the Mariners’ interim general manager, was in the process late Friday afternoon of “researching” the information that Batista provided during his postgame interview with the media.

“I have not had a chance to talk to Miguel about it, but if we ever have first-hand knowledge that a guy is having medical problems, we are not going to put them on the field,” he said.

“I think he was just feeling something there and tried to gut it out and pitch. While I appreciate the effort, it probably would serve himself, and the team, better if he had it treated instead of trying to pitch through it,” [Riggelman said].
