Quick Summary

Kade Anderson, the Mariners’ top prospect, was injured during Saturday’s game against the Angels when he got hit by a 103.8 mph comebacker to his left elbow. Despite trying to stay in the game, Anderson had to be substituted and was diagnosed with a forearm bruise. His call-up from Double-A Arkansas this summer has seen him pitch well but also face setbacks like this injury, which adds to the Mariners’ growing list of player injuries in 2026.

Story summary

In an MLB game on Saturday night, the Mariners beat the Los Angeles Angels 8-4. Taylor Ward drove in the go-ahead runs with a pinch-hit two-run single in the seventh inning, and J.P Crawford followed with a two-run homer off Angels reliever Mitch Farris (1-4). The Angels had tied the game at 4-4 earlier when they scored four runs in the sixth inning. Kade Anderson, the Mariners' top prospect and 2025 first-round pick, got hit by a 103.8 mph comebacker to his left elbow during the fourth inning but pitched scoreless innings before leaving due to injury. The game ended with Josh Naylor stealing second base in the ninth, becoming the first first baseman since George Sisler in 1920-1922 to have consecutive 30-steal seasons.
