Julio Rodríguez, Victor Robles leave Mariners' game with injuries
Key Points:
- Mariners star center fielder Julio Rodríguez exited in the third inning against the Angels after being hit on the back of his helmet by a 78.2 mph throw, entering concussion protocols.
- Victor Robles, Rodríguez’s replacement, was also removed later due to pain from a 97.9 mph fastball that struck his right wrist/forearm; X-rays were negative.
- Manager Dan Wilson stated both players will be further assessed the following morning to determine their conditions.
- The lineup shifted with Luke Raley moving to center field and Weston Wilson entering right field after Rodríguez and Robles left the game.
- Rodríguez’s injury occurred during a double play attempt in the first inning, and despite initial play, he ultimately left the game after further evaluation.
