Seattle Mariners left-hander Nate Robertson will have arthroscopic surgery to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow.

The team announced Monday that the 33-year-old Robertson, who signed a minor league contract with Seattle in January, is expected to resume throwing in four weeks. He was 0-1 in three appearances (two starts) with a 7.71 ERA in spring training.

Robertson has had previous operations on his left elbow. He's a nine-year major league veteran, with most of that time spent with the Detroit Tigers.
