ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Seattle Mariners reliever Sean White will have an MRI on his sore right shoulder Wednesday, and is expected to be sidelined the rest of the season.

White hasn't pitched since Aug. 28, when he made his eighth consecutive scoreless appearance. A non-roster invitee to spring training, the right-hander is 3-2 with a 2.80 ERA and career highs of 64 1-3 innings and 52 appearances this season.

Manager Don Wakamatsu said right-handed reliever Chris Jakubauskas isn't available for Tuesday's series opener against the Los Angeles Angels because of arm soreness.

Doug Fister will make his next scheduled start despite leaving Sunday's game in Oakland with a blister, according to Wakamatsu.
