SEATTLE – Another injury is impacting Brock Rodden’s third year in the minors, and this time the Seattle Mariners’ infield prospect won’t return before the season ends.

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander on Friday said Rodden will miss the rest of the season with a broken hamate bone in his wrist suffered on a swing last week while playing for Double-A Arkansas.
“No long-term effects from that, but obviously takes a while to heal a fractured hamate,” Hollander said. “So, he will be down probably until October.”
The injury is the latest in what’s been a stop-and-start campaign for Rodden, who has been strong for the Travelers when healthy.
