Mariners Promote Michael Arroyo

Key Points:

• The Seattle Mariners have promoted outfield/second base prospect Michael Arroyo from Triple-A Tacoma, requiring roster adjustments including optioning infielder Patrick Wisdom to Tacoma and moving pitcher Nick Davila to the 60-day injured list due to a season-ending SC joint sprain.
• Arroyo, a highly regarded 21-year-old prospect ranked among the top 70 farmhands by several outlets, signed with the Mariners in 2022 for a record $1.375 million bonus for a Colombian prospect and has been transitioning from infield to outfield this season.
• The versatile left-handed hitter will replace Cole Young at second base against the Athletics, providing the Mariners with a much-needed offensive boost as the team struggles with a 66-77 record and aims to avoid a four-game home sweep.
• Adding Arroyo to the 40-man roster protects him from the upcoming Rule 5 draft, securing a key offseason move while hoping his contact skills and offensive potential can contribute immediately to the Mariners’ lineup.
