Top prospect Colt Emerson has been reassigned to minor league camp by the Mariners, likely ending his bid for an Opening Day roster spot. The 20-year-old infielder showcased his potential during spring training, achieving a 111 wRC+ with two home runs and a stolen base, but ultimately, Cole Young‘s impressive performance made it easier for Seattle to keep him instead. Emerson, ranked highly among Mariners prospects, will return to Tacoma for further development. Meanwhile, J.P. Crawford‘s shoulder injury opens up the possibility for Leo Rivas to step in if necessary.
