Colt Emerson's Wrist Injury Preventing him From Making MLB Debut
Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson (wrist) has been dealing with a wrist issue at Triple-A Tacoma, which was a factor in the team's decision not to bring him up on Monday with infielder Brendan Donovan (groin) going on the 10-day injured list, according to Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. "It just didn't feel like this was the right time for that," manager Dan Wilson said. The M's want Emerson to be 100% confident in his abilities and not dealing with any kind of injury when they eventually call him up to the big leagues, which should happen sooner rather than later in 2026. While Emerson, MLB's No. 7 overall prospect per MLB Pipeline, bides his time on the farm, Leo Rivas should handle the majority of starts at third base in Seattle in the short term with Donovan sidelined. Emerson, who is just 20 years old, is one of the top position-player stash options in fantasy baseball leagues. He's currently hitting .258/.361/.452 with two home runs, seven RBI, 10 runs scored, and six stolen bases in 18 games for Tacoma to begin the year.
