"Bliss is already on the 60-day injured list. Seattle's Opening Day second baseman suffered a biceps rupture on a swing in the middle of April. He underwent surgery that came with a 4-5 month recovery timeline. Bliss had seemingly made good progress and was healthy enough to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on August 28. He was hitting .385 over six games there before suffering the meniscus tear."
"Bliss hasn't hit much in limited big league playing time, but he had a .269/.377/.456 slash with 50 stolen bases in Tacoma a year ago. The M's promoted more highly regarded prospect Cole Young to take over second base at the end of May. Young has been mired in a brutal slump since the All-Star Break (.174/.319/.283 in 114 plate appearances)."
Bliss suffered a right-knee meniscus tear and underwent season-ending surgery. He was already on the 60-day injured list after sustaining a biceps rupture in April that required surgery and a 4–5 month recovery. Bliss began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on August 28 and hit .385 over six games before the meniscus injury. He had limited major-league success this season (.200/.282 across 11 games) but posted a .269/.377/.456 line with 50 stolen bases in Tacoma last year. The Mariners have been splitting time at second base among Jorge Polanco, recent call-ups, and Cole Young amid roster adjustments. Seattle sits 1.5 games ahead of the Rangers for the final Wild Card spot and trails the Astros by 2.5 games in the AL West.
