It’s a big day for injury news and updates.
Hello folks! The week continues on to Tuesday. Here’s what we’ve got for you this morning.
In Mariners news…
- A pair of Mariners pitching prospects made appearances in Alex Chamberlain’s Peripheral Prospects at Rotographs.
- Hmm…
Nelson Cruz and the Twins visiting T-Mobile Park this Thursday-Sunday. But Cruz having an MRI on sore left wrist today in Minnesota. M’s fans might remember he had issue with same wrist late in 2016 … and then hit 2 of his longest bombs, ironically in Minnesota vs the Twins.

- Here’s a fun little fact.
The Mariners have recalled RHP Austin Adams from Triple-A Tacoma. Dan Altavilla, added to the roster yesterday, is headed to Double-A Arkansas.
When Adams appears in a game, he will be the 19th different reliever the Mariners have used this season (two were position players).

- James Paxton is making some slow progress in his injury recovery.
James Paxton has been throwing regularly, by the way. Wearing a knee brace and says he is not experiencing any soreness in his knee. Has been playing long toss, but not a bullpen yet.

- The Marlins are really bad, guys.
The Marlins are scoring 2.69 runs per game. That puts them on pace for 434 — 75 fewer runs than the 2010 Mariners… And this is during the juiced ball era.
The Marlins have one — one! — player with an OPS above league average.
Their best player is 4 for May
