SEATTLE -- Left-hander Ryan Rowland-Smith may have to wait to make his season debut with the Seattle Mariners after a rough rehab start.

Rowland-Smith was supposed to return to the mound Thursday in Baltimore. But he was tagged for 12 runs and 14 hits in 4 2/3 innings in an outing for Triple-A Tacoma on Friday night.

Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu says a decision will be made in the next couple of days about whether Rowland-Smith needs another rehab start. Rowland-Smith has been on the DL with triceps tendinitis.

Wakamatsu and pitching coach Rick Adair met with Rowland-Smith before Seattle's game against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday.
