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.

Projected Lineup: Feb. 26 vs. Seattle | St. Louis Blues
The St. Louis Blues are back in action as they host the Seattle Kraken on Thursday at Enterprise Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Midwest, 101 ESPN).
It will be the team’s first game since Feb. 4, and Jim Montgomery said the squad is ready to get back to work.
“Yeah, I think everybody is,” the head coach said. “I mean, you can tell. Guys were anxious today, but it’s like ‘enough of practicing against each other, it’s time to play a game.’”
Captain Brayden Schenn, who missed Wednesday’s practice with an illness, took the morning skate and is expected to play. Dylan Holloway (ankle), who has played just one game since Dec. 12, will make his return to the lineup as well.
Robert Thomas has taken a leave of absence due to a personal matter. He’s expected to return to the team on Friday.
Additionally Jack Finley will make his Blues debut. Finley – who is the son of former Blue Jeff Finley and was born in St. Louis – was claimed off waivers by the team on Feb. 7.
“It was a dream of mine to play for this team,” Finley said. “It was a big part of my childhood, big part of my family’s life. So definitely full-circle moment and proud to be a Blue.”
Jeff, who played defense for the Blues from 1998-2004, will be in the building Thursday night to see his son don the jersey he wore for so many years.
“He was excited,” Jack said about his dad. “Maybe more excited than me. He loved this organization, loved this city… He’s excited to be back.”
