The Seattle Mariners have placed rookie Colt Emerson on the 10-day injured list due to left wrist inflammation, revealed shortly after he was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. Emerson, who has struggled at the plate this season with a.157 batting average, reportedly concealed the extent of his injury until after the Mariners made the decision to demote him. Mariners president Jerry Dipoto indicated that Emerson's pain may have hindered his performance, leading to a disappointing season for the team, which is currently 57-65. Emerson is set to see a specialist in Arizona to assess his injury further.
