Seattle Mariners second baseman Ryan Bliss is expected to need four to five months to recover from surgery on his torn left biceps, the club announced in a release Thursday.
Seattle Mariners make roster move that may signal rare rotation change
Bliss, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday, had an MRI the same day that revealed the severity of the tear. He will undergo surgery Friday at the University of Washington Medical Center.
The 25 year old’s injury occurred on a swing during the second inning of Tuesday’s loss to Houston. Bliss finished the game and had well-struck line drive double after the injury occurred.

“It’s a really tough break, especially for Ryan,” Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Wednesday. “I think he showed a lot of heart. He played most of the game with it yesterday. I think it shows you a lot about what’s inside of him, the character that he has.”
Bliss was getting his first chance at an extended look in the big leagues and played in 11 of the team’s first 12 games. He hit .200 with a .596 OPS, but had started to heat up during a six-game hitting streak. Over his last six games, the right-handed-hitting second baseman batted .300 with an .833 OPS and his first home run of the season.
With Bliss out of the lineup Wednesday against Houston, left-handed-hitting Miles Mastrobuoni got the start at second base against Astros right-hander Hunter Brown and collected a pair of hits. Wilson said Wednesday the team is weighing its options at second base, which also include Dylan Moore and recently recalled Leo Rivas.

Bliss’ injury adds to what’s been a tough first few weeks health-wise for the M’s. Right fielder Victor Robles is set to miss at least 12 weeks with a dislocated left shoulder and fracture in the humeral head suffered on a highlight-reel catch Sunday, and the team is still awaiting the return of injured starting pitcher George Kirby and relievers Troy Taylor and Matt Brash.
No clear timetable has been given for Kirby, but he was scheduled to throw two bullpen sessions this week before starting a begin a “spring training-type game progression,” general manger Justin Hollander said Monday.
Taylor is currently on a rehab appearance in Tacoma, while Brash threw a live batting practice against two minor leaguers Wednesday morning at T-Mobile Park. Hollander said the team would assess if Brash was ready to begin a rehab appearance after Wednesday’s live batting practice.

During the 2023 season, Colston Loveland and AJ Barner were the top two tight ends on the Michigan Wolverines’ undefeated national championship team.
Could they potentially reunite in the Pacific Northwest?
Insider: Two draft prospects who fit Seattle Seahawks’ identity
Last year, the Seattle Seahawks selected Barner in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. He went on to have a productive rookie campaign, totaling 30 catches for 245 yards and four touchdowns while providing solid run blocking and establishing himself as Seattle’s No. 2 tight end behind Noah Fant.

Loveland, meanwhile, is a surefire first-round pick who could be a legitimate option for the Seahawks in this year’s draft. Some draft experts – including NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah – have projected Seattle to take the 6-foot-5, 248-pound Loveland at No. 18 overall. It would make sense, given how important tight ends are to new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak’s scheme.
On Tuesday, FOX college football analyst Brock Huard highlighted Loveland as part of his Seahawks draft profile series on Seattle Sports’ Brock and Salk. Huard called Loveland a “unicorn” due to his lengthy frame, speed, fluid athleticism and potential to be a big-time receiving threat at the NFL level.
“He’s a unicorn,” Huard said. “He’s just different. And he was different from day one at the University of Michigan. He played as a true freshman there. … When you’re 6-6, 250, you run 4.7 (seconds in the 40-yard dash), you’ve got 33-inch arms and can jump out of the gym, you give yourself an opportunity, (even) at Michigan, to hit the field right away.”
As a freshman, Loveland had 16 catches for 235 yards and two touchdowns on a Michigan team that reached the College Football Playoff semifinals.

Loveland then took over as the Wolverines’ No. 1 tight end in 2023, racking up 45 catches for 649 yards and four touchdowns during Michigan’s 15-0 national championship season – including a key 41-yard catch-and-run in the national title game against the UW Huskies. Barner was the Wolverines’ No. 2 tight end that year, totaling 22 catches for 249 yards and a TD.
This past fall, Loveland played through a shoulder injury that limited him to 10 games. But he still finished with a school-record 56 catches for a team-high 582 yards and five TDs – including seven catches for a season-high 112 yards against Oregon. He finished with more than double the receiving yards of any other player on Michigan’s team, which was hampered by subpar quarterback play following the departure of 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy.
“He’s a 6-6, 250 guy that looks like a 6-foot, 200-pound receiver,” Huard said. “He is that big, but he moves that effortlessly with that much fluidity.”
Loveland underwent shoulder surgery on Jan. 29 to repair his AC joint, but is expected to be able to be fully cleared for training camp this summer.
“Frankly, (the shoulder) is a little bit of a concern for me,” Huard said. “I’d have to be very, very, very clear on my medicals.”

Loveland also isn’t regarded as a particularly strong run blocker. But with Barner and the recently signed Eric Saubert, the Seahawks already have two good blocking tight ends. Loveland’s elite field-stretching ability could pair with Fant to give Kubiak another big-time receiving weapon for his bevy of multi-tight-end formations.
Loveland’s immense potential is reflected by Jeremiah ranking him as the No. 7 overall prospect in this year’s draft class – one spot ahead of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, the projected No. 1 overall pick.
“That tells you some of the grade and the evaluation and the unique skill set,” Huard said.
