Mariners Roster Update
Mariners' Colt Emerson Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery as Bryan Woo Returns to Mound
Seattle Mariners rookie shortstop Colt Emerson will have season-ending surgery on Wednesday to repair a partially dislocated tendon in his left wrist, according to AP Sports. The 21-year-old is expected to be ready for the start of next season. Meanwhile, pitcher Bryan Woo will make his next start despite recently dealing with shoulder soreness.
Emerson's Quick Rise Cut Short by Injury
Emerson, 21, signed a $95 million, eight-year contract with the Mariners on April 1, Winnipeg Free Press reported. He became the youngest Mariners player to make his major league debut since Félix Hernández in 2005. His rookie season came to an abrupt end after the wrist injury required surgery.
Bryan Woo Clears to Pitch Wednesday
Pitcher Bryan Woo will take the mound for his next start despite feeling unwell after recent shoulder soreness, Newsday reported. General Manager Justin Hollander made the announcement, clearing Woo to return. The decision suggests the shoulder issue is not serious enough to sideline him long-term.
Crawford Expected Back From Injured List
Shortstop J.P. Crawford is expected to be activated from the injured list and will likely return on Tuesday, Messenger-Inquirer reported. Crawford's return will help replace some offensive production as the team deals with Emerson's absence for the remainder of the season.
