The Colorado Rockies are dealing with more infield drama as Kyle Karros lands on the 7-day concussion IL once again, making for another busy day for their front office. But let’s be real, Emerald City, the real headline for our green and blue hearts is that our Seattle Mariners secured a 5-4 win against the Chicago Cubs! A win is a win, especially one that tight!
Karros Out, Ritter In After Latest Injury
Back to the Rockies’ situation: Karros had just come off the injured list before getting pulled from last night’s game against the Cleveland Guardians after the fifth inning. Manager Warren Schaeffer confirmed the reason, stating Karros had “symptoms similar to his concussion,” forcing them to take him out. To fill that spot, the Rockies recalled infielder/outfielder Ryan Ritter from Triple-A Albuquerque. Ritter has been battling his own injuries this season, but he’s back with the big club now.
The Freeman Decision Shocks Some
Perhaps the biggest head-scratcher in all these transactions is the decision to option Tyler Freeman to Triple-A. Freeman has been a consistent presence in the Rockies’ lineup ever since they traded for him last season from the Guardians. He’s been on the IL twice this season himself, but just recently looked decent, going 1-for-4 with a walk as the designated hitter in his third rehab game for Triple-A Albuquerque. It’s a tough break for a guy who’s been a regular.
For us in Seattle, we’ll take that Mariners win any day. Keep that momentum rolling!
