No structural damage they still haven\u2019t decided if he will go on the injured list or not,\u201d Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBrendan Donovan (groin) took several rounds of early BP this afternoon \u2014 he even playfully picked up KC\u2019s Vinnie Pasquantino \u2014 but won\u2019t be activated for this homestand. He\u2019s scheduled for a rehab assignment with Tacoma and will meet the M\u2019s in Chicago on the next trip,\u201d Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n Brash, a 27-year-old reliever, has not allowed a run in 14 outings this season.
