The Mariners positioned outfielder Julio Rodriguez (proper wrist contusion) and utilityman Dylan Moore (again spasms) on the 10-day injured checklist. Jarred Kelenic has been referred to as up from Triple-A, and first baseman/outfielder Jack Larsen’s contract has been chosen from Double-A. To make room for Larsen on the 40-man roster, left-hander Anthony Misiewicz has been designated for project.
Final evening’s 5-4 win over the Astros was a expensive victory for the Mariners, as Rodriguez, Moore, and Sam Haggerty (on account of a lower on his brow) all needed to depart the sport, making Seattle’s late-inning triumph all of the extra unbelievable. If that wasn’t sufficient, Ty France can also be set to endure an MRI, as his bothersome left wrist harm once more flared up late within the recreation.
Rodriguez’s harm drew essentially the most instant concern after the star rookie was hit on the precise hand whereas swinging, although x-rays were negative. Rodriguez remains to be sore sufficient that he received’t be capable to swing for the following 4-5 days, supervisor Scott Servais informed Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times and different reporters, and thus the IL stint was essential to each preserve the Mariners from being undermanned and to provide Rodriguez time to get wholesome.
There’s no simple approach to substitute Rodriguez, who has shortly cemented himself as each the current and way forward for Seattle baseball. The outfielder is the heavy favourite to seize AL Rookie Of The Yr honors, until this IL stint lingers or impacts Rodriguez’s manufacturing as soon as he does return. Likewise, France additionally made the AL All-Star group this yr and has principally accomplished nothing however hit because the M’s acquired him from the Padres on the 2020 commerce deadline.
