Shortstop Guillen Improving

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

October 2, 2001

Seattle Mariner's manager Lou Piniella is unable to visit his starting shortstop, who remains quarantined with pulmonary TB, but he reports Carlos Guillen is doing better. A Northwest Hospital nursing supervisor said Monday that Guillen was comfortable, resting and able to move around his room. She was unsure when he would be discharged. "They don't want any visitors," said Piniella. The Mariners hope to have Guillen back when they open the playoffs at home Oct. 9, probably against American League Central champion Cleveland, but Piniella isn't counting on it. Guillen, who was diagnosed with TB on Friday, is receiving antibiotics. Other team members are scheduled to be tested for the disease on Thursday.
