Mariners Place Infielder on 7-Day Concussion Injured List
The Seattle Mariners will be without one of their infielders, as Brendan Donovan has been placed on the 7-day concussion IL.
The Seattle Mariners have placed infielder Brendan Donovan on the seven-day concussion injured list following an incident in the batting cage. According to MLB.com's Daniel Kramer, Donovan will be sidelined for at least a week. To fill the void, the Mariners have called up Patrick Wisdom from Triple-A Tacoma. As Seattle competes for a higher position in the American League West standings, Donovan's absence presents a challenge.
Donovan has been limited to just 39 games this season, recording three home runs, 15 RBI, and a .277 batting average. Before this season, he had 10 home runs, 50 RBI, and a .287 batting average in 118 games with the St. Louis Cardinals. Over his career, Donovan has played in 531 MLB games over five seasons, splitting his time between the Cardinals and Mariners.
He has hit 43 home runs, 217 RBI, and maintains a .282 batting average. The Mariners will hope that Donovan, who stands at 5-foot-11, can rebound from this setback and avoid further time off the field.
