Summary
Seattle placed Julio Rodríguez on the seven-day concussion injured list after he was struck in the back of the helmet by a throw while running to second base Thursday.
Rodríguez stayed in briefly before exiting in the third inning, then entered concussion protocol; his return timeline is unclear, and the upcoming All-Star break could give Seattle reason to be cautious.
Miles Mastrobuoni was selected to replace him, with Víctor Robles starting in center field as the Mariners patch over the loss of Rodríguez’s .259/.323/.424 bat and 1.9 WAR production.
Cooper Criswell was transferred to the 60-day IL to clear a 40-man roster spot, a move that pushes back his earliest reinstatement beyond the August 3 trade deadline.
