In the third inning of tonight’s series finale between the Mariners and Yankees, second baseman Dee Gordon exited after taking a 90 mile-per-hour fastball from J.A. Happ off of his right wrist. Gordon appeared to be in excruciating pain, coming off the field swearing in frustration.
While the specifics and severity of the injury are unknown, the shared initial reaction from Gordon, Scott Servais, and Rob Nodine suggest that it’s nothing good. If the injury is indeed as serious as it appeared, Gordon will be headed to an extended trip to the Injured List and the Mariners will have to call up a middle infielder in his absence.
