2:25 p.m. PT: MARYVALE, Ariz. - The Seattle Mariners were a dealt a massive blow on the injury front on Friday when George Kirby was shut down with right shoulder inflammation. The Mariners received another injury scare during a spring training game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.

In the top of the third inning, two innings after hitting a two-RBI home run, Seattle backup catcher Mitch Garver was hit by a pitch in the hand or wrist by Milwaukee pitcher Kaleb Bowman. He immediately started favoring his hand after the pitch.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson and a trainer came out to check on Garver. He was pulled and went into to the clubhouse. Anthony Donofrio was inserted as a pinch runner for him at first base.

After the game, Wilson said that the team was still waiting for the x-rays to come back on his hand and wrist area according to a post from the Seattle Times' Ryan Divish.

Garver has been one of Seattle's best hitters in spring training and has been working to have a bounce back season after a down 2024.

Including his spring training game against the Brewers, Garver was hitting .444 (8-for-18) with three home runs, six runs, six RBIs and an OPS of 1.420.

If the Mariners season began Friday, Garver would likely be the starting designated hitter. If he puts together a solid offensive season stays healthy enough to reliably backup Cal Raleigh, the bottom half of the team's lineup can get a huge boost.

But first, Seattle needs to make sure there's nothing extensively wrong with Garver's hand.

He wasn't pictured in the dugout after the game due to him receiving x-rays.
