Brendan Donovan Leaves Early With Injury on Friday
Seattle Mariners second baseman Brendan Donovan (undisclosed) left Friday night's game early against the division-rival Texas Rangers at T-Mobile Park with an undisclosed injury, according to Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. Donovan was replaced by infielder Leo Rivas at third base after going 0-for-2 out of the leadoff spot before hitting the showers. We should have an update on the 29-year-old's injury soon. Even if he escapes with a minor injury and is day-to-day, we wouldn't be surprised if he's held out of Game 2 of the series in Seattle on Saturday. Donovan continues to make a lot of contact at the plate in his first year with the M's, as he entered Friday's game slashing .315/.449/.537 with a .986 OPS, three home runs, eight RBI, seven runs scored, and a stolen base in 17 games played. Donovan doesn't provide much power, but he's useful for runs, average, and on-base percentage atop a potent Seattle lineup. If he were to miss time moving forward, Rivas could become the team's primary option at the keystone.
