Go inside the dugout with the Seattle Mariners and Tacoma Rainiers

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.
