Seattle Mariners Change Roster Due to Player Injuries
西雅圖水手因球員受傷調整陣容
Introduction
The Seattle Mariners have made several changes to their roster, including bringing back key veteran players and promoting a minor league player to deal with current injuries.
西雅圖水手對陣容進行了幾項調整，包括召回關鍵老將以及晉升一名小聯盟球員，以應對目前的傷病問題。
Main Body
The team has brought catcher Cal Raleigh and shortstop J.P. Crawford back to the active roster. Raleigh, who set several team records during the 2025 season, returned from a 10-day injured list after suffering a right oblique strain. He performed well during his recovery, achieving a .412 batting average. At the same time, Crawford returned from a hand injury and was moved to the starting third base position so the team could continue to evaluate rookie Colt Emerson.
球隊將捕手 Cal Raleigh 與游擊手 J.P. Crawford 重新列入活躍陣容。Raleigh 在 2025 賽季創下多項球隊紀錄，在右斜肌拉傷進入 10 日傷兵名單後回歸。他在康復期間表現出色，打擊率達到 .412。同時，Crawford 在手傷痊癒後回歸，並被調整至三壘首發位置，以便球隊能繼續評估新人 Colt Emerson。
However, the club faced a problem when outfielder Randy Arozarena was placed on the 10-day injured list because of a left hamstring strain, which was confirmed by an MRI. Because other players like Luke Raley and Josh Naylor were also injured, the team lacked enough backup players. Consequently, the management promoted 26-year-old outfielder Curtis Washington Jr. from High-A Everett for a short time. After his first game, Washington Jr. was sent back to Everett, and Connor Joe was called up from Triple-A Tacoma. Additionally, Will Wilson was moved to the 60-day injured list, and Jhonny Pereda was sent to Tacoma.
然而，當外野手 Randy Arozarena 因左腿後腱拉傷（經 MRI 確認）而被列入 10 日傷兵名單時，球隊面臨問題。由於 Luke Raley 與 Josh Naylor 等其他球員同樣受傷，球隊缺乏足夠的後備球員。因此，管理層短期內將 26 歲的外野手 Curtis Washington Jr. 從 High-A 的 Everett 晉升。Washington Jr. 在首場比賽後被送回 Everett，而 Connor Joe 則從 Triple-A 的 Tacoma 被召上。此外，Will Wilson 被移至 60 日傷兵名單，Jhonny Pereda 則被送至 Tacoma。
Conclusion
The Mariners have strengthened their main lineup by bringing back veterans while using strategic minor league promotions to handle short-term injuries in the outfield.
水手隊透過召回老將來強化主陣容，同時利用策略性的小聯盟晉升來處理外野的短期傷病。
Vocabulary Learning
The 'Cause & Effect' Engine
At the A2 level, students usually connect ideas with and, but, or because. To reach B2, you need to shift from simple connections to Logical Transitions.
Look at how the text explains the team's chaos:
"Because other players... were also injured, the team lacked enough backup players. Consequently, the management promoted..."
The B2 Upgrade: "Consequently" Instead of saying "So they promoted a player," the author uses Consequently. This word acts as a bridge, telling the reader: "Because of the situation I just described, this specific result happened."
⚡ Power-Up Your Vocabulary
Stop using "big" or "important." Use these professional alternatives found in the text:
- Key (instead of important) "Key veteran players"
- Evaluate (instead of check/look at) "Evaluate rookie Colt Emerson"
- Strengthened (instead of made better) "Strengthened their main lineup"
🛠️ Grammar Hack: The Passive Shift
Notice this sentence: "...Randy Arozarena was placed on the 10-day injured list... which was confirmed by an MRI."
Why this is B2 material: An A2 student says: "The doctor put Randy on the list."
A B2 student focuses on the person affected, not the doctor. By using was + past participle, you move the focus to the player. This is the standard way to write reports, news, and business emails.
