Mariners’ Colt Emerson makes 1st first career start at shortstop as J.P. Crawford gets day off
- On Tuesday, 20-year-old Colt Emerson makes his first MLB start at shortstop for the Seattle Mariners against the Chicago White Sox, less than 24 hours after hitting a three-run homer for his first big league hit.
- The 20-year-old was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday after All-Star utilityman Brendan Donovan suffered a left groin muscle strain and landed on the 10-day injured list.
- Emerson averaged 5.5 pitches per appearance in his first seven plate trips without striking out, impressing teammate Woo, who noted, "Everybody's already obviously seen just the raw talent."
- Manager Dan Wilson praised Emerson's maturity and approach, stating, "He's come up here, he's been very mature and his approach has been outstanding," while Crawford received a day off for a right-handed heavy lineup.
- General Manager Justin Hollander estimates Donovan will be sidelined two to three weeks, providing Emerson multiple opportunities to establish himself at his natural shortstop position.
