Mariners Place Victor Robles on 10-Day IL, Select Connor Joe From Triple-A

Seattle turns to bench help following Carlos Vargas’ move to the 60-day injured list.

Overview

  • The team placed outfielder Victor Robles on the 10-day injured list with a right pectoral strain, and the stint was backdated to the prior day.
  • To fill the open spot, Seattle selected Connor Joe from Triple-A Tacoma, a 33-year-old who can play first base and both corner outfield positions.
  • Robles had opened the season batting .231 in five games for Seattle and has gone 37-for-40 on stolen bases since joining the club in 2024.
  • Right-hander Carlos Vargas was transferred to the 60-day injured list with a right lat strain, which tightens bullpen depth after his 70 outings last season.
  • Seattle had already recalled righty Cole Wilcox to help the relief corps, and he has struck out six of the 16 batters he has faced across three games.
