Colt Emerson Out for Season | Spokane News
Description
Mariners top prospect Colt Emerson’s rookie season is over after surgery to fix a displaced wrist tendon — but the team’s GM says he’ll be ready for next year. The 21-year-old, who made his MLB debut in May and took over shortstop in June, showed early promise with power and on-base skills before his bat fell off against fastballs. A meeting with coaches revealed his hidden struggle: months of wrist pain he’d played through, even after a cortisone shot. Now sidelined from swinging, Emerson will focus on rehab and strength training to protect his wrist — and the Mariners can finally understand why his numbers dipped so sharply.
