The Seattle Mariners are expected to promote infield prospect Cole Young to the majors this weekend as they continue their series against the Minnesota Twins, according to MLB.com reporter Daniel Kramer. Young, aged 21, will make his debut when he plays in a game. The team has yet to officially announce the move or any corresponding actions.
Cole Young, a first-round draft pick in 2022, has had a solid season in Triple-A with a batting line of .277/.392/.461, including five home runs and four stolen bases in 54 games. Recently, he has excelled, hitting .398/.505/.705 and recording more walks than strikeouts over the last month.
Young was ranked as the 44th best prospect in the minors at the start of the season by CBS Sports. His hitting style is polished, characterized by a focus on singles and walks. Currently, he is projected to play at second base where the Mariners have faced challenges since the injury to Ryan Bliss.
The Mariners have struggled, entering the weekend with a 30-26 record and coming off three consecutive losses against the Astros.
