"The Seattle Mariners have placed star outfielder Ichiro Suzuki on the 15-day disabled list because of a bleeding ulcer. Doctors diagnosed him in Arizona after he complained of severe fatigue and missed three straight games in spring training. The team says the ulcer is no longer bleeding, but doctors have restricted his activity. The move to the DL was retroactive to March 31 (Sportsline)."
It doesn't sound like Ichiro will need to be on the DL past the 15 days, but the Mariners really can't afford to lose any bats. They have no hitting, and Ichiro getting on base constantly is really there only shot at scoring runs. Seattle has some good pitching, but their lack of offense will make them a nonfactor this year.
