The team also transferred reliever Carlos Vargas from the 15-day to the 60-day IL with a right lat strain. To fill Robles' roster spot, the Mariners called up utility player Connor Joe from Triple-A Tacoma.
Why it matters
The Mariners have struggled to start the season, and these injuries to key players like Robles and Vargas only compound their issues. Robles is a veteran outfielder who provides valuable experience and production, while Vargas was a crucial part of the bullpen last year. The team will need to find ways to overcome these setbacks as they try to turn their season around.
The details
Robles was injured during outfield drills earlier this week and is expected to miss at least a couple months with the pec strain. Joe, known for his versatility, has been called up from the minors to help fill the void in right field. The Mariners are also dealing with Vargas' extended absence, as the right-hander was transferred to the 60-day IL.
- Robles was placed on the 10-day IL on April 8, 2026.
- Vargas was transferred from the 15-day to the 60-day IL on April 8, 2026.
- Joe was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on April 8, 2026.

— Daniel Graham, Author
What’s next
The Mariners will need to determine how long Robles and Vargas will be sidelined and evaluate whether Connor Joe can provide a sufficient stopgap in right field. The team's struggles early in the season make these injuries particularly challenging to overcome.
