Mariners infielder Colt Emerson is headed for season-ending surgery on his left wrist, ending his 2026 season and aiming for a spring 2027 return. After signing a near-$95 million extension and debuting in May, Emerson’s major‑league performance was hampered by the wrist issue, prompting the move to the IL and forcing Seattle to rethink its 2027 infield plans.
Colt Emerson delivered his first career walk-off by lining a 1-2 pitch through the right side in the bottom of the ninth to lift the Seattle Mariners to a 7-6 win over the Minnesota Twins and clinch the three-game series at T-Mobile Park. Seattle erased a six-run lead late, with Cal Raleigh hitting a three-run homer in the seventh, Luke Keaschall tying the game with a ninth-inning leadoff homer, and Emerson's game-winner coming off Yoendrys Gómez after George Kirby tossed seven scoreless innings in a no-decision.
Seattle placed shortstop J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list with a right-hand contusion after a hit-by-pitch, recalling Ryan Bliss from Triple-A. Crawford had been a productive contributor (.258/.366/.500 with nine homers since late April) and may shift to third as Colt Emerson handles short for at least a week. With Brendan Donovan sidelined by a groin strain, third-base duties will fall to Patrick Wisdom and Bliss for now, while Seattle hopes a healthy roster can keep its strong lineup intact.
Seattle is testing J.P. Crawford at third base after he proposed the move, as top prospect Colt Emerson makes his MLB debut and is eyed as Seattle’s future shortstop; Emerson has shown versatility between short and third, and Crawford’s shift could boost the infield's long-term flexibility while Donovan's injury absence creates a temporary opening.
Colt Emerson capped his night with his first major-league hit—a homer in the ninth—as the Mariners topped the White Sox 6-1. Bryan Woo overcame a rough start to pitch six innings, Seattle got an early homer from Julio Rodríguez and some late insurance, and Andrés Muñoz closed out the ninth for the win.
Seattle promoted 20-year-old Colt Emerson to the majors, planning his debut at third base as the youngest Mariners rookie since Felix Hernandez in 2005 after signing an eight-year, $95 million extension; Brendan Donovan was placed on the 10-day injured list with a groin strain, creating the roster spot for Emerson ahead of Sunday Night Baseball against the Padres.
The Seattle Mariners reportedly locked up top shortstop prospect Colt Emerson with an eight-year, $95 million guaranteed contract that includes a club option for a ninth season and a no-trade clause; incentives could push the total past $130 million. Emerson, 20, has not yet played in the majors but dominated the minors, prompting Seattle to secure his future even as he remains at Triple-A pending a physical. The deal removes service-time concerns and solidifies Emerson as a core piece through 2034, though the team plans to develop him further in the minors before a likely big-league debut, all amid an infield mix that could eventually include him at short, second, or third base depending on injuries and roster needs.
Mariners reassign top infield prospect Colt Emerson to minor league camp, effectively ending his bid for Opening Day; he impressed in spring with a 111 wRC+ and 2 homers, but Seattle will rely on Brendan Donovan, J.P. Crawford (if ready), and likely Leo Rivas for infield depth, sending Emerson back to Tacoma for more seasoning.
Seattle's spring focus centers on a crowded infield, with Brendan Donovan slated for everyday duty after the trade, Cole Young at second, J.P. Crawford at short and the club keeping an eye on rookie Colt Emerson who could start in Tacoma but push for a midseason call-up, while Miles Bliss returns from injuries and competes for bench time as the roster fills out.
The article highlights top fantasy baseball prospects eligible for Rookie of the Year, including Chase Burns, who is set for his MLB debut with the Reds, and Colt Emerson, a promising shortstop in the Mariners system, among others, providing insights into their recent performances and potential impact for 2025.
The Seattle Mariners selected Colt Emerson, a Shortstop/third baseman from John Glenn High School in Ohio, with the 22nd overall pick in the Major League Baseball draft. Emerson, ranked as the 29th prospect, is known for his advanced hitting skills and is expected to hit 20 or more homers per season. While he is currently a steady defender at shortstop, he may move to a different position in professional baseball. Emerson is the first Ohio high school position player to be drafted in the top three rounds since 2007.
