Tough news for the Seattle Mariners. With the season hanging by a thread, one of their key contributors will be out of the lineup. Infielder Brendan Donovan was scratched at the last minute after getting hit in the head by a baseball in the batting cages before the game.

The veteran infielder has struggled to stay healthy all season, and Weston Wilson got the start at third base.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on Donovan’s injury status.
