Still too early to know when Mariners’ Ketel Marte will return from DL

The Mariners put Ketel Marte on the 15-day disabled list after he had been diagnosed with mononucleosis, but it's still too early to tell how long the shortstop will be sidelined.

Marte to the DL, too early to know when he’ll return

The Mariners put Ketel Marte on the 15-day disabled list after he had been diagnosed with mononucleosis. They called up reliever David Rollins to get the roster back up to 25-players in time for Saturday’s afternoon game in Toronto against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Unlike an injury, an illness like mono makes it difficult to plot a return for Marte, who has already lost weight and will have to get his strength back before the club can think when they will get their starting shortstop back.
