Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena is listed as day-to-day after sustaining a hamstring strain during Friday’s 10-2 victory over the Washington Nationals, forcing him to exit the game in the third inning.
The injury happened as Arozarena tried to reach first base on an infield hit, stretching toward the bag as the throw beat him out. Victor Robles took over his defensive position in left field.
“He’s okay,” manager Dan Wilson told reporters following the game. “I think a little bit of a hamstring strain, might have been more of a spasm or a cramp kind of a thing. He’s day-to-day at this point, and we’ll kind of assess a little bit more in the morning and see how he’s doing.”
Wilson noted that imaging tests for Arozarena’s injury aren’t currently planned, though that decision will depend on how the player feels on Saturday.
Before getting hurt, Arozarena contributed a single that helped spark a five-run rally in the second inning. The 31-year-old outfielder is currently hitting .291 this season with seven home runs, 33 RBIs and 19 stolen bases across 71 games.
