are getting ready to welcome back second baseman Jorge Polanco from the injured list and when they do, infielder Ryan Bliss should stay on the roster.
Bliss went 3-for-3 on Friday in a loss to the Miami Marlins and went 3-for-4 in a win on Saturday and he's absolutely played himself into a more permanent roster spot. He's shown the ability to hit for some power and has shown off his speed with four stolen bases thus far. Despite the positional redundancy with Polanco, he is more deserving right now of a roster spot than top prospect Tyler Locklear, who has been stapled to the bench for the better part of the last week. Locklear needs to go back to Triple-A to get regular at-bats and the M's can find creative ways to get Bliss in the lineup easier than they can Locklear.After a 1-for-15 start in the majors, he's hitting .342 ith 3-2B, 3B, HR.
Plus, he's hit well enough to warrant the extended stay. Polanco could be activated as early as Monday so we'll continue to see how the front office wants to handle it but it seems likely that Bliss will still be in Seattle when he gets back.Continue to follow our Inside the Mariners coverage on social media by liking us on
