Mariners’ Donovan to start rehab in Arkansas

Seattle’s Brendan Donovan will start a rehab assignment with the Double‑A Arkansas Travelers next week, with a possible MLB return depending on his performance.

Donovan, 29, has been sidelined since mid‑April with a left groin strain. He will play two games with the Travelers on Tuesday and Wednesday, after which he may join the Mariners in Chicago if the outings go well. The Mariners’ GM said the progress has been positive and that the player is unlikely to be activated for the current homestand. solvita.blog
