Woo has been out since September 19th with a pectoral injury and missed the ALDS but it looks like there is a very good chance he is added to their ALCS roster tomorrow.
The club wants to go through another consultation with Woo on Saturday to see how he recovered after throwing an up-and-down bullpen session on Friday, as he continues to work back from pectoral inflammation. His bullpen was a positive step forward, but it's likely that the Mariners will want to see another throwing session of some sort before injecting him in a playoff game. -Kramer
This is not great news for the Blue Jays as Woo is a terrific pitcher as he finished with a 2.94 ERA this season in 186.2 innings pitched to go along with 198 strikeouts and a 15-7 record.
The Blue Jays will certainly have a tough matchup ahead whenever Woo makes his start this series.
