King Felix Hernandez will miss three to four weeks on the disabled list:

Seattle Mariners ace Felix Hernandez is expected to miss three to four weeks because of bursitis in his right shoulder.

Hernandez was placed on the 10-day disabled list Wednesday after he pitched only two innings in his start at Detroit the previous night. He allowed four runs and threw 48 pitches. Hernandez is 2-2 with a 4.73 ERA in five starts this season.

Hernadez is playing 2017 as a 31-year-old, although he might seem much older, having appeared in the majors since 2005. Before his problems in 2016, he pitched at least 190 innings for ten straight seasons, the last eight of those all over 200 innings. I suspect as he entered his 30s, all that work finally took a toll.
