Mariners' Colt Emerson to Have Season-Ending Wrist Surgery and Bryan Woo Will Make His Next Start
The rookie shortstop will miss the playoffs if Seattle qualifies after surgery to repair a displaced tendon in his left wrist.
- Seattle Mariners General Manager Justin Hollander announced on Monday that shortstop Colt Emerson will undergo season-ending surgery on Wednesday to repair a displaced tendon in his left wrist.
- Emerson played through the injury since before Spring Training, disclosing the pain only during a meeting last week regarding his planned demotion to Triple-A Tacoma.
- Through 69 games and 241 plate appearances, Emerson batted.190/.246/.335 with eight home runs; President of Baseball Operations Jerry Dipoto said, "I wish he would have been a little more upfront if it was bothering him that much."
- Currently on the 10-day injured list, Emerson will likely transfer to the 60-day IL to create 40-man roster space as shortstop J.P. Crawford returns from injury.
- Dr. Donald Sheridan will perform the procedure in Scottsdale, Ariz., and the organization expects Emerson to be fully recovered for next season, though his offseason weight training will be modified to protect the wrist.
