Colt Emerson: Everything you need to know

Emerson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's 6-1 win over the White Sox. Emerson's first major-league hit and first homer came simultaneously, as the top prospect launched a three-run shot to extend the Mariners' lead in the eighth inning. Through two games, the 20-year-old is 1-for-6 (.167) with a walk. With Brendan Donovan (groin) landing on the injured list, Emerson should continue to see steady opportunities at third base moving forward.

Emerson went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Padres. While Emerson was held hitless in his major-league debut, he did score Seattle's first run of the game after drawing a lead-off walk in the sixth inning. The 20-year-old Emerson was recalled from Triple-A to serve as the Mariners' primary third baseman in the absence of Brendan Donovan (groin), though he could also now see time at shortstop after J.P. Crawford (triceps) left Sunday's contest after he was hit by a pitch. Emerson appeared in 38 games at Triple-A Tacoma this season, where he slashed .255/.347/.469 with seven homers and 10 stolen bases.
