Top Seattle Mariners Prospect Placed on Injured List
The Seattle Mariners have been busy ahead of the trade deadline. They made a trade for outfielder Randy Arozarena on Thursday and reliever Yimi Garcia on Friday.
The impressive things about those two trades have been the fact that Seattle has only had to give up one top-10 prospect to get them (Jonatan Clase).
One of the Mariners’ prospects that has long been tied to traded rumors has been catcher Harry Ford. He’s ranked as Seattle’s No. 2 prospect and the No. 23 prospect overall according to MLB Pipeline.
According to a recent report — Ford could be out for a bit.
Ford was placed on the injured list with “concussion symptoms” according to a report from MLB.com’s Daniel Kramer.
Harry Ford was placed on the IL yesterday at Double-A Arkansas with concussion symptoms after taking a baseball to the facemask while catching.
The Mariners aren’t overly concerned that he’ll be sidelined for an extended period. Ford is their No. 2 prospect by @MLBPipeline.

According to the same report — the Mariners aren’t concerned Ford will be out for an extended period of time.
Ford was held out of the lineup for Double-A Arkansas Travelers’ three-game series this weekend against the Northwest Arkansas Naturals with what was described then as an illness, according to Locked On Mariners Ty Dane Gonzalez.
Harry Ford might not be in the lineup tonight, but it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s been traded. He’s sick, I’ve been told.

It’s unknown how much Ford has been involved in Seattle’s ongoing trade discussions if he has at all. But Ford would have value whether he gets traded elsewhere or if he stayed with the Mariners.
Ford has competed in the MLB All-Star Futures Games two years in a row and is batting .247 this year with five home runs and 31 RBIs. He’s caught 10 runners stealing this season.
Ford has also spent some time this season at left field and at designated hitter.
Any update on a top Mariners prospect will be scrutinized with the trade deadline two days away. Whether Ford is involved with a potential trade package or stays in Seattle’s farm system — the team will no doubt want its No. 2 prospect to get healthy as soon as possible.

Knight, a five-time Olympian and captain of the United States team that won gold, will be out of the lineup for the Seattle Torrent indefinitely after sustaining a lower-body injury in Italy, the team announced Friday.
Knight had three goals and three assists for the U.S. at Milan Cortina including a goal in the 2-1 overtime win over Canada in the final. She has three goals and seven assists during the current PWHL season.

“While we’re eager to be at full strength and recognize the anticipation of Hilary’s return, we’re focused on putting her and our team in the best position for a playoff push,” Torrent general manager Meghan Turner said in a statement.
Minnesota Frost captain Coyne Schofield was placed on long-term injured reserve on Friday retroactive to Feb. 19 with an upper-body injury. Coyne Schofield scored three goals for the United States during the Olympics.
“I am incredibly proud of all our Frost Olympians who demonstrated true excellence on the world stage,” general manager Melissa Caruso said in a statement. “We are fully committed to supporting Kendall throughout her recovery, and our medical team will be working diligently to help her prepare for her return to the ice.”
The moves by the Torrent and Frost came a day after the Montreal Victoire announced that Ambrose has been placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to Feb. 19 for a lower‑body injury suffered while representing Canada in the gold medal game. Ambrose had a pair of assists at the Olympics.
The Victoire’s Marie-Philip Poulin, Canada’s captain in Italy, was listed as day-to-day with an Olympics-related injury.
Victoire general manager Daniele Sauvageau said of the team’s Olympians “we are confident that they will be back in the lineup in the near future.”
