SEATTLE (AP) -Ken Griffey Jr. was held out of the Seattle Mariners’ lineup for their game against the Texas Rangers on Monday night.
Griffey had a flare-up of a colon condition called diverticulitis that was initially diagnosed in late 2006. Griffey says it feels like someone kicked him in the side, but it usually clears up within a couple of days.
Manager Don Wakamatsu was hopeful Griffey would be ready to play on Tuesday with right-hander Vicente Padilla scheduled to start for the Rangers. Griffey played Saturday against Oakland, then wasn’t used in Sunday’s 15-inning victory by the Mariners.
