Mariners criticize Colt Emerson for concealing wrist injury

The Seattle Mariners have called out infielder Colt Emerson for hiding a wrist injury that he managed throughout the season. Prior to being placed on the 10-day injured list, Emerson's performance declined, leading to his demotion, but team officials were unaware he was dealing with an injury. Mariners president Jerry Dipoto expressed disappointment that Emerson did not communicate the severity of his condition sooner. Emerson signed an eight-year, $95 million contract in March, and his situation raises concerns for the franchise as they struggle for a playoff spot with a 57-66 record, trailing the Houston Astros by six games.
