The navies have today provided an update on the inner field Ryan Blisswhich was placed on the list of wounded 10 days yesterday with a torn left biceps. The announcement of today relays that an MRI confirmed the severity of the tear and the need for surgery, with an expected recovery calendar of four to five months.
It is obviously a frustrating development for happiness and the club. It is not clear if this calendar includes a possible rehabilitation assignment or if it will take so long to start rehabilitation. Anyway, it will miss the majority of the campaign, even in the best of cases and it seems possible that it does not come back at all in 2025.
For the team, this is the second big blow in their group of players in the past few days. Víctor robles At a shoulder fracture and should miss about three months while avoiding surgery, although this calendar can change if surgery is ultimately necessary. Now Bliss will also be sidelined for several months.
The lack of offense was a problem for them last year and their inner field was particularly worrying. Justin Turner And JORGE POLANCO has become free agents at the end of the season, with Josh Rojas Also not tense. Who left them with JP Crawford at the stop and a few players or young guys who are not established as candidates for other spots. There were many rumors of off -season surrounding their activities on the ground, but they only made a few modest movements, bringing Polanco back to play third and sign Donovan Solano To participate in corners in a part -time / peloton role.
This left the second base open for internal options, including happiness, a great opportunity for him. He arrived in 2025 with only 33 major league games to his credit, but intriguing minor league numbers. During 2023 and 2024, he produced a combined line of .290 / .378 / .497 for various clubs of minor leagues. This production led to a WRC + of 120, indicating that it was 20% above the league average. He also stole 105 bases in 133 tests. The M acquired the diamondbacks as part of the July 2023 trade which sent Paul Sewald at the desert.
Bliss only struck. 200 / .282 / .314 to start this year but in a small sample of only ten games. He will not be able to adjust this line anytime soon. Between him and Robles, the club must improvise a new programming around two vacant stations. Polanco fights against certain knee problems and has been the hitter in recent times. Luke Raley went from the first base to the right field to replace Robles, by Rowdy Telz Taking over at first, peloton with Solano. Dylan Moore,, Miles mastrobuoni And Leo Rivas Figure to cover the third and second base, at least until Polanco can resume the ground. Cole Young is one of the best hopes in the league and could take back the Keystone at some point, but it strikes .171 / .292 / .244 to 11 triple-A games to start the year.
All clubs are facing injuries, but it may be a little more worrying for Seattle. They did not have a lot of resources available for upgrading their range this winter, which gives them somewhat narrow margin for the error to start the year. They have now drowned at a start of 5-8 and will be without two regulars of the programming for several months. Happiness must be moved to the 60 -day IL every time the navies need a list point.
