Brock Rodden - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Inflamed knee ends season The Mariners placed Rodden on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left patella tendon inflammation.

Impact It's unclear how long Rodden's knee has been bothering him, but the injury will prematurely end the infielder's season. He'll finish with a lowly .197/.306/.279 batting line with zero home runs and zero stolen bases in 30 contests for the Mariners.

Getting rest Wednesday Rodden isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston.

Impact Rodden will take a seat Wednesday after failing to record a hit in each of his last 10 at-bats -- seven of which ended in a strikeout. Weston Wilson will fill in at third base and bat ninth.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting against lefty again Rodden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

Impact A switch-hitter, Rodden posted a .679 OPS versus lefties and an .884 OPS versus righties at Triple-A Tacoma this season before being promoted to Seattle on Aug. 14. Those wide splits have persisted in limited action in the majors thus far, with Rodden submitting a .544 OPS versus lefties and a .675 OPS against righties through his first 18 games with Seattle. He'll hit the bench for a second game in a row while the Athletics send another lefty (Gage Jump) to the hill.

Heading to bench Monday Rodden is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

Impact Weston Wilson will enter the starting nine at third base in place of Rodden. The switch-hitting infielder had been included in the lineup in each of the Mariners' last six games, going 0-for-16 with a 2:4 BB:K during that stretch.

Getting breather Saturday Rodden isn't starting Saturday against the Cubs.

Impact Rodden started seven straight contests at shortstop after getting called up Aug. 14, but he'll hit the bench Saturday despite holding his own with a .250/.321/.417 slash line and three RBI during his time in the big leagues so far. Leo Rivas is stepping in to start at shortstop Saturday.

Handling everyday role at shortstop Rodden will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

Impact Since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Rodden has started at shortstop in each of the Mariners' ensuing five games. Rodden has gotten off to a nice start to his big-league career by going 4-for-13 with two doubles, three walks, three RBI and two runs, but his playing time will likely fall by the wayside once J.P. Crawford (wrist) returns from the injured list. Crawford is slated to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A on Thursday and could be ready to rejoin the Mariners within a week.
