Mariners' Andres Munoz: Another scoreless rehab outing

Munoz (shoulder) fired a scoreless fourth inning during which he issued a walk and recorded a strikeout in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Sacramento on Friday.

Munoz's second rehab appearance saw him fire eight of 15 pitches for strikes and put together another scoreless outing. Rainiers play-by-play broadcaster Mike Curto reports the right-hander threw 10 sliders and five fastballs, with the heater sitting between 97 and 99 miles per hour. Munoz's velocity is clearly in formidable shape, lending credence to the notion he may need only a couple more outings at most on the farm before being deemed ready for activation.
