Colt Emerson, the Seattle Mariners' top prospect, is listed as day-to-day following a right foot injury sustained when he fouled a ball during a game. X-rays returned negative, and he exited the first game of a doubleheader for Triple-A Tacoma. Emerson, who recently signed an eight-year, $95 million contract—the largest ever for a player without major league service—was expected to join a talented Mariners roster that includes stars like Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez. The 20-year-old shortstop, selected as the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft from John Glenn High School in New Concord, Ohio, had a standout season in 2025, boasting a .285 batting average with 16 home runs and 78 RBIs. In his first seven games with Tacoma, he recorded a .269 average with one home run and three RBIs.
