The Seattle Mariners placed infielder J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list Monday with a right hand contusion and recalled infielder Ryan Bliss from Triple-A Tacoma.
The IL move is retroactive to Saturday.
Crawford was hit in the hand by a 95-mph sinker from Framber Valdez in the third inning of Seattle's loss to Detroit on Friday. Crawford was replaced in the field for the bottom of the inning and missed the rest of the series.
Crawford, 31, is batting .228 with 10 home runs and 23 RBIs through 55 games this season.
After Crawford started at shortstop in 53 of those games, rookie Colt Emerson may see more time at shortstop. The 20-year-old top prospect made his major league debut last month and was originally penciled in to start at shortstop Monday against the host Baltimore Orioles before being scratched about an hour before the scheduled start.
Emerson's removal from the lineup was due to back tightness, the Mariners said. Cole Young is now scheduled to start at shortstop Monday night, with Bliss at second.
It will be Young's first career start at shortstop after appearing in 66 games at second base this season for the Mariners. A first-round pick of Seattle in the 2022 MLB Draft, the 22-year-old is hitting .253 with four home runs and 31 RBIs in his second season in the majors.
Bliss, 26, appeared in one game for Seattle earlier this season as a pinch hitter. He owns a .210 batting average with three homers and 12 RBIs in 45 career big-league games, and he was batting .204 with one homer in 51 games this year at Triple-A.
