Julio Rodriguez MRI shows no structural damage

Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez was out of the lineup for a third straight game Sunday, but an MRI showed bruising and no structural damage in his ailing left wrist.

Seems like it’s just a bad bruise. Time to rub some dirt on it and get back into the game. MRI said no structural damage. Tape it up and let’s go.


If Winker can’t go need to bring up JK. Time for him to sink or swim at the ML level.

At the present, JK is probably worth more in trade value as a "prospect" rather than bringing him up and having him faceplant again.

And I'm only slightly kidding there.

Oof. Not hurt badly enough to sit out the all star game, but hurt badly enough to sit out meaningful games days later. Not a great look, imo.

Already have Moore and Toro face planting up here, At least have someone face plant that has potential.
At least it will someone different doing it and actual OF.

Squeeked that one out. Damn, Castillo was off tonight. Lucky he only gave up one run.

SS damn near left him in to long. I would have had Swanson ready to go at the beginning of the inning, then after the homer pulled Castillo. Why? Because they needed that win.

Thanks Heavens for Ty France tonight.

Well, he had to face 3 batters minimum. I guess he faced 4? Swanny had been up earlier so didn't need a full warmup period. IAE it worked. Hopefully we get some guys back and score more runs tomorrow.

We need something to compete with Houston..

Oh shit, LOL, forgot about that rule.

Yeah, it's still in effect.

Moore and Toro back to batting under .200. Might as well throw Kelenic out there....

 

[Chapow]

I gotta give Servais some credit for pulling Castillo when he did. Seems like he usually lets it get way more out of hand before making a switch. And yeah, a pitcher can't be pulled until they face at least 3 batters.

Glad it worked out, but yikes, Castillo was a mess out there.

.200 isn't good, but it is quite a bit better than .140

A win is a win

This game reinforced what we've known for much of the season: M's infield defense is damn good. Had it been merely pedestrian, I doubt our W/L record would have anyone talking WC. Seems they pull off at least a couple of incredible plays per game to get guys out. I don't know what the official stats are compared to other teams, but I think M's infield defense is top five.

We are at the top of the league at fielding percentage according to the announcer guys.
