Seattle RHP Brandon Morrow, nursing a sore throwing shoulder, was scheduled to play catch Sunday. "He's coming around," said manager John McLaren, who wants to see Morrow pain-free. "Hopefully, he'll play a little catch tomorrow and everything will move forward."

Analysis: Morrow blamed the soreness on his attempt to become a starter before the acquisition of Erik Bedard bumped him back to the bullpen. "I think the transition from starter to reliever to starter might have something to do with this," Morrow said. "I have been throwing more often as a reliever than as a starter, and the muscles learn what you're doing. You go through a transition period, and your muscles have to get used to whatever routine you're going to have."

COME ON.
