The Seattle Mariners reinstated right-hander George Kirby from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start on Thursday against the host Houston Astros.

The Seattle Mariners have reinstated starting pitcher George Kirby from the 15-day injured list. After being diagnosed with shoulder inflammation during spring training, Kirby will make his season debut today against the Houston Astros.

George Kirby's return from shoulder inflammation saw him struggle, allowing five runs in 3⅔ innings against Houston. Despite improved mechanics and velocity, his accuracy and timing were off, impacting his ability to command pitches.
