Bout with TB Doesn't Keep Mariners' Guillen out of Lineup for Long

From U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

October 17, 2001

Two-and-a-half weeks after being diagnosed with pulmonary TB, Seattle Mariners' shortstop Carlos Guillen has been cleared to return to the field and was expected to be activated for the American League Championship Series. Manager Lou Piniella said it was "almost assured" that Guillen would be added to the roster and would start several games against the New York Yankees. Guillen was hospitalized and quarantined for several days after his illness was diagnosed Sept. 28. He continues to take antibiotics every four hours. "I feel better right now than when I was playing before," said the 26-year-old Venezuelan, who had continued playing despite being sick for much of the season's second half.
