Mariners manager Eric Wedge told reporters that Brendan Ryan is out Tuesday due to an "accountability issue." |
Wedge chose not to elaborate further. Ryan was known for acting immaturely and being late to the ballpark on occasion during his time in St. Louis, so perhaps there was a similar incident in Seattle. But he's expected to return on Wednesday. |

Brendan Ryan had to leave Sunday's intrasquad game after fouling a ball off his foot. |
It's not clear at this point if he'll need an X-ray. Ryan already came to camp banged up, as he's recovering from neck and shoulder issues. The excitable shortstop batted just .248/.313/.326 with three home runs, 39 RBI, 13 stolen bases and a .639 OPS over 123 games in 2011, but he features a slick glove. |

Fri Nov 11 2011 | 10:41 | Brendan Ryan not cleared to swing bat |
Brendan Ryan (neck) has not yet been cleared to swing a bat. |
Ryan dealt with neck stiffness for the better part of September and was eventually shut down with about a week left to go in the season. The ailment left him unable to turn his head too far left or right, and although he still doesn't have full range of motion, he's getting better and thinks he'll be cleared to swing within the next 10 days. "I watch television with a bat in my hand," he said. "I'm close. I'm a lot better than I was, but I think I expected to bounce back a lot faster than I have." |

Ryan has already been ruled out for the season, but the Mariners have been unable to get a handle on what's causing his back issues. Perhaps Tuesday's visit will provide more clarity. Ryan's season concluded with an ugly .248/.313/.326 batting line, but he's played his usual stellar defense. |

Fri Sep 23 2011 | 18:59 | Brendan Ryan (neck) likely done for season |
Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Friday that Brendan Ryan (neck) is likely done for the season. |
Ryan underwent an MRI earlier this week, which revealed a disc issue in his upper back. Barring sudden improvement, the 29-year-old infielder will finish the season with a .248/.313/.326 batting line to go along with three homers, 39 RBI and a .639 OPS over 494 plate appearances. Ryan avoided arbitration last offseason by agreeing a two-year, $2.75 million contract, so he will make $1.75 million in 2012. |
