“Mariners’ Star Victor Robles Faces Long Road to Recovery: What This Dislocated Shoulder Means for the Team’s Playoff Hope”
Robles, who was batting .273 with three doubles as the Mariners’ leadoff man, was placed on the 10-day injured list.
Imaging revealed the dislocation caused a small fracture in a bone in the shoulder, and Hollander said it appeared the injury would heal without surgery. If no surgery is required, the fracture should heal in about six weeks, and then another six weeks of rehabilitation would be necessary.
The Mariners were playing at San Francisco when Robles made a long dash to chase down a fly ball. The right fielder went over the low railing in foul territory to make the catch, fell over the wall and crashed into the netting in the process. Robles appeared to be in immediate pain, flipping the ball away with his right hand and grabbing at his left arm.
