SEATTLE (AP) — Mariners’ starter Bryan Woo left Friday’s game with one out in the fifth inning for precautionary reasons after experiencing tightness in his arm, but is expected to make his next turn in the rotation for Seattle.

Making his first start of the year after being slowed by a sore elbow during spring training, Woo allowed just one hit through the first four innings only to leave the game after getting Oakland’s Tyler Soderstrom to foul out behind third base to open the fifth.

Manager Scott Servais said after Seattle’s 8-1 victory over Oakland that he expects Woo to make his next start.

“He was just a little tight. He wasn’t loose and there is no point in pushing it right now,” Servais said. “I think he’s going to be fine.”

Catcher Cal Raleigh immediately went to the mound and was quickly joined by pitching coach Pete Woodworth and Servais. Woo eventually walked off the mound alongside athletic trainer Kyle Torgerson and was replaced by Trent Thornton.
