Mariners' Robles out at least 12 weeks with fractured shoulder
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles is expected to miss at least 12 weeks with a small fracture in the humeral head of his left shoulder caused by a dislocation, general manager Justin Hollander announced Tuesday.
Robles was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday after sustaining the injury while making an acrobatic catch during Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants.

The Mariners said Robles' fracture likely won't need surgery, but his recovery will be monitored. The injury should heal in about six weeks without a procedure, followed by around six weeks of rehab.
The 27-year-old former top prospect signed a two-year, $9.75-million contract extension last August after joining Seattle as a free agent in June following his release from the Washington Nationals.
Robles has three RBIs with a .624 OPS over 10 games this season. He slashed .328/.393/.467 with four homers and 30 stolen bases across 77 contests with the Mariners in 2024.
