The Seattle Mariners avoided a potential major injury concern based on the lineup for a series opener against the Minnesota Twins on Monday. Mariners infielder/designated hitter Jorge Polanco was penciled in as the team’s designated hitter in the cleanup spot for Monday. There was a potential thought Seattle could give Polanco a rest Monday due to a rough play in the team’s series finale against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday. In the top of the fifth, Polanco clipped the heel of first baseman Michael Busch on a race to first base and fell face first into the dirt.
