Mariners reliever Rafael Soriano, who was struck by a line drive in the eighth inning of Tuesday's game against the Angels, was released from Harborview Medical Center on Wednesday afternoon.
Soriano was kept in the hospital overnight for observation and a pair of CT scans, among other tests.
Mariners team physician Dr. Edward Khalfayan said both CT scans "looked good and we are not concerned at this time that he has a brain injury other than a concussion... We expect him to recover from this injury with no long term residual effects."
Soriano will be monitored by the Mariners medical staff over the next 10-14 days, and will be re-checked by a neuro-surgeon in approximately two weeks.
No timetable has been established for Soriano's return to competition.
Mariners pitcher Rafael Soriano, who was hit above the right ear with a line drive on Tuesday night, continues to improve and could be released from Harborview Medical Center as soon as today.
Sorino was examined earlier today by a neuro-surgeon Dr. Rich Ellenbogen and will undergo more tests this afternoon to check his balance and ability to walk. If those tests are positive, Soriano could be released soon thereafter.
Soriano will continue to be treated for a concussion and will be re-examined by the neuro-surgeon in approximately two weeks.
