Overview
- Donovan was struck in the head by a baseball in the Mariners’ batting cages and is being evaluated before being placed on the 7-day concussion injured list, according to MLB coverage.
- He was scratched from the starting lineup for the game and Weston Wilson made an emergency start at third base in his place.
- The Mariners recalled Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Tacoma as the corresponding roster move to fill Donovan’s spot on the active roster.
- Seattle already has Colt Emerson, J.P. Crawford and Will Wilson on the injured list, leaving the club with limited infield depth and fewer internal options.
- Donovan has hit well this season and has prior left groin IL stints, so the team will seek medical clearance before returning him and will likely prefer a short concussion IL stay to preserve roster flexibility.
