SEATTLE (KPTV) – The Seattle Mariners are calling up their top prospect, the team announced Sunday.<\/p>\n
20-year-old infielder Colt Emerson is in the starting lineup for the team\u2019s game against the San Diego Padres on Sunday afternoon, batting ninth and starting at third base.<\/p>\n
Emerson is the top Mariners prospect, and is considered one of the top prospects across Major League Baseball, according to various publications.<\/p>\n
The Zanesville, Ohio native was selected 22nd overall by the Mariners in the 2023 MLB Draft out of John Glenn High School in New Concord, Ohio.<\/p>\n
In 38 games this season – all with the AAA Tacoma Rainiers – Emerson is hitting .255 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs.<\/p>\n
Playing for three different Mariners affiliates in 2025, Emerson hit .285, with 16 home runs and 78 RBIs.<\/p>\n
In a corresponding move, the Mariners placed veteran utilityman Brendan Donovan on the 10-day injured list.<\/p>\n
The Mariners (22-25) have struggled out of the gate to begin the 2026 season, after coming within one game of making their first ever World Series appearance in 2025.<\/p>\n
