Tight hammy keeps Jack Wilson out of lineup

The lineups are out and the Mariners still are without shortstop Jack Wilson.

He continues to be sidelined with a tight left hamstring, which has kept him idle since the third inning of last Wednesday’s series finale against the White Sox at Safeco Field.

He had hoped to be in the lineup for tonight’s series opener against the Tigers, but he said the hammy is still “tight” and he remains on a “day-to-day” situation.

“It’s getting better but at the same time it’s one of those things that you want to make sure it goes away. Don’t want to come back too soon kind of deal,” he said.

And so the other J. Wilson was on the lineup card — Josh Wilson.
