The results of an MRI performed on Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles revealed a small fracture in his left shoulder, the team announced Tuesday.
While it appears Robles will avoid surgery, the team expects Robles’ fracture to heal in approximately six weeks. At that point, he will need a rehab schedule of an additional six more weeks in order to get up to speed.
Robles was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday, one day after he made a jumping catch of a long ball hit by Patrick Bailey of the San Francisco Giants in the bottom of the ninth that had barely turned foul.
His glove hand still outstretched, Robles’ elbow appeared to make contact with a padded wall and he also got tangled in netting. Robles was carted off the field.
Robles, 27, joined the Mariners after being waived by the Washington Nationals during the 2024 season. Robles was Seattle’s leadoff batter in its first 10 games of this season, hitting .273 with three doubles, three RBIs, three runs and three stolen bases.
Robles has batted .248 in his 617-game career with Washington (2017-24) and Seattle, recording 35 homers, 185 RBIs, 257 runs and 103 stolen bases.
