The Mariners began the season with a glut of first basemen. Suddenly, “Who’s on first?” could be a daily riddle for manager Scott Servais.
Ryon Healy, the Mariners’ regular first baseman last season, has been on the injured list since May 21 and could miss another month with a back injury that will require an epidural injection on Tuesday.
Healy had been preparing for a rehab assignment earlier this month when he was dealt a setback.
“After four weeks, nothing was getting better, to my surprise and everyone’s surprise. I was just looking for answers,” Healy said Monday.
