The Seattle Mariners can ill-afford another injury, but that's what they might have on their hands after outfielder Randy Arozarena was removed from Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers in the top of the sixth inning.
After singling to left field, Arozarena was seen stretching out his leg at first base. Of course, it could be a cramp, but the team was clearly taking no chances in a game in which they trailed 6-1 at the time. From just a look on television, it looked like a cramp or like Arozarena was experiencing hamstring discomfort.
He was replaced by outfielder Rhylan Thomas.

It's been a disastrous year from an injury perspective for Seattle, who has seen Dylan Moore, Luke Raley, Victor Robles, George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, Gregory Santos and Ryan Bliss each hit the IL. Bliss is out for the season and Robles and Raley are out until around the All-Star break. Matt Brash just came back after a lengthy injured list stint himself.
Arozarena, 30, is hitting .224 this season with five homers and 18 RBIs. He's also stolen eight bases and has come up clutch in multiple late-game situations. He hit a game-winning home run against the A's in the first homestand of the season and also had game-breaking hits in extra innings against Cincinnati and Toronto.
The Mariners will be back in action on Monday night when they take on the Athletics in West Sacramento. The two teams are 2-2 against each other so far this season.
First pitch Monday is 7:05 p.m. PT.
