The Seattle Mariners lose Adrian Beltre for the next 6-8 weeks
The Mariners will be without starting 3B Adrian Beltre for the next 6-8 weeks due to shoulder surgery. Beltre has played in 73 games for the Mariners this season and he is 77 for 297 (.259 avg, .665 OPS) with 3 runs scored, 5 homers, 31 RBIs and 9 stolen bases. The Mariners will go with a committee of Ronny Cedeno, Josh Wilson and Chris Woodward for now. But look for the Mariners to make a trade if they want to stay in competition for the playoffs this season. They will miss both Beltre’s bat and mitt while he is out.
