Victor Robles of the Seattle Mariners faces a significant setback, missing at least 12 weeks due to a dislocated left shoulder sustained while catching a foul ball. This injury, which has resulted in a small fracture in the shoulder, will likely heal without surgical intervention. Robles has been a standout for the Mariners, hitting .319 with 44 runs, 23 doubles, four homers, 29 RBIs, and 33 stolen bases since joining the team. His absence will be felt as he has been a key leadoff man and a crucial part of the Mariners' offense.

General Manager Justin Hollander provided details on the injury, indicating that if surgery is avoided, Robles’ shoulder should heal within approximately six weeks, followed by another six weeks of rehabilitation. Robles’ performance prior to the injury underscores his value to the Mariners, making his recovery critical for the team's postseason aspirations.
