23 Aug
Summary
- Brendan Donovan was scratched from the lineup due to a head injury.
- He was hit by a baseball in the batting cages before the game.
- The injury caused a last-minute change to the Mariners' starting lineup.
The Seattle Mariners faced a significant lineup alteration just before Saturday's game as Brendan Donovan was scratched due to an injury. Donovan was hit on the head by a baseball while in the batting cages and required immediate evaluation.
This unforeseen change led to Weston Wilson taking over at third base. Randy Arozarena was moved to the leadoff position, with Cole Young shifting up in the batting order.
Donovan, who had been a crucial offensive contributor since his return from a left groin strain on August 4, has been a game-changer for the team. Despite his recent impact, he has only appeared in 39 games this season following a lengthy absence.
