Patrick Wisdom: Everything you need to know

The Mariners placed Wisdom on the 10-day injured list Friday due to a left oblique strain, retroactive to Wednesday. Wisdom may have picked up the injury during his last outing Tuesday against the Padres, when he struck out in his lone plate appearance. Wisdom is eligible to be activated from the IL in late April, though oblique injuries tend to take more time to recover from. Rob Refsnyder (personal) was activated from the Mariners' paternity list in a corresponding move.

The Mariners selected Wisdom's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday. The 34-year-old joined Seattle as a non-roster invitee in January after spending the 2025 campaign playing in the Korea Baseball Organization, and he'll get a look in the majors with Rob Refsnyder going on the paternity list. Wisdom has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign at Tacoma with nine homers and a 1.145 OPS in 15 games. He isn't likely to see significant playing time with the Mariners but could see some action against left-handed pitching.

Wisdom went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and a second run scored in Thursday's Cactus League matchup against the Padres. After starting the spring 1-for-10 across four games, Wisdom's gone 4-for-6 with a pair of homers in his last two contests. The 34-year-old Wisdom signed with the Mariners as a non-roster invitee after spending the 2025 season in the KBO, where he posted an .856 OPS with 35 home runs in 119 games. Any chance that Wisdom had to earn a starting role went away with the signing of Brendan Donovan, though the veteran is still looking to make the Opening Day roster as a bench piece.
