Worth noting

• Despite missing three starters who were expected to begin the year in the rotation, Seattle entered Sunday ranked third in the American League with a 2.77 ERA and has the lowest opponent's batting average in the Major Leagues at .191 (62-for-325). The bullpen, a major strength for the club, led the AL with a 1.99 ERA.

• Rehabbing right-hander Taijuan Walker, rated the top prospect in the organization by MLB.com, will make another rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Tacoma as he continues to recover from the shoulder inflammation that sidelined him for all of Spring Training.
