The Mariners are expected to bring up top prospect Colt Emerson to the big-league squad, reports Ryan Divish of the Seattle Times. The 20-year-old shortstop is among the highest-ranked young players in the sport. Divish adds in a follow-up post that Emerson is expected to arrive at T-Mobile Park before a Sunday Night Baseball matchup against the Padres.
Emerson fell short of an MLB gig out of Spring Training, despite a 111 wRC+ in 18 games. The 20-year-old has slashed .255/.347/.469 through 38 games at Triple-A this season. He’s popped seven home runs to go with 10 stolen bases.
