Colt Emerson Remains Out on Tuesday With Back Injury
Seattle Mariners rookie infielder Colt Emerson (back) remains out of the starting lineup for Game 2 of the series against the hosting Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards on Tuesday, according to MLB.com. Infielder Cole Young will make another start at the 6 and will bat eighth against Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers. Emerson will miss a second straight game after he was scratched from Monday's series-opening win in Baltimore due to tightness in his back. The M's placed regular shortstop J.P. Crawford on the injured list on Monday with a hand contusion, so Seattle has become pretty thin up the middle of late. Ryan Bliss was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and will make his second straight start at the keystone on Tuesday. Emerson, one of the top middle-infield prospects in the game, has hit .242/.319/.548 with an .867 OPS, four home runs, 10 RBI, and nine runs scored in his first 19 big-league games since being called up. Check back on Wednesday to see if he returns to the starting nine for the Mariners.
