Worth noting

• The Mariners expect all 68 players in camp for Tuesday's first full-squad workout, including veteran right-handed reliever Ramon Ramirez, who is scheduled to finally arrive from the Dominican Republic after clearing up a visa issue.

• Most of the pitchers took Monday off from throwing bullpen sessions, with just Felix Hernandez, Taijuan Walker and Yoervis Medina taking the mound for their initial sessions of the camp. While Hernandez and Walker got most -- or all -- of the attention, pitching coach Rick Waits said Medina was impressive as well.

"He's a guy that likes to get in here and play a lot of long toss before he gets on the mound," Waits said. "Medina looked really good today, really sharp. It was fun. What a pleasure, for as many years as I've got in the game, to see those three guys on the mound at the same time."
