The Seattle Mariners placed second baseman Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain and called up infield prospect Ryan Bliss to make his MLB debut Monday night against the Houston Astros.
Polanco experienced tightness in his right hamstring during a game against the Kansas City Royals on May 13. The Mariners attempted to avoid an injured list stint for Polanco with several days of rest to heal the injury. After a seven-game absence, Polanco returned to the lineup for the last five games of the just concluded road trip. However, Polanco again experienced tightness and left Sunday's game in Washington ahead of Monday's move to the injured list.
"Bliss' family and girlfriend and family were in town for the holiday weekend to watch him play for the Tacoma Rainiers. They had been set to fly home to Atlanta on Monday only for plans to change for an extended stay and a trip up I-5 to T-Mobile Park instead."Everybody's here. It worked out perfectly. I couldn't ask for much more," Bliss said.In 50 games played with the Rainiers this season, Bliss is batting .247 with seven home runs, nine doubles and three triples.
