It’s been a rough start to the season for the Seattle Mariners. They’re currently 4-8 on the season and in last place in the American League West. They’ve been without George Kirby since the start of the season, and Victor Robles was just added to the Injured List on Monday. Now, it appears that another contributor to the Mariners could be out for a while. On Wednesday, the Mariners placed second baseman Ryan Bliss on the 10-day injured list with a left bicep tear. They recalled infielder Leo Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma. They also designated Jesse Hahn for assignment and selected the contract of Casey Lawrence from Tacoma.
