Victor Robles Carted Off After Spectacular Catch in Mariners Game
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles made a spectacular defensive play on Sunday that quickly turned into a concerning moment for fans and teammates. In the middle of the game, Robles chased down a deep fly ball to center field, made a leaping catch, and then crashed to the ground.
Though the catch was successful — and possibly one of the best of the season so far — Robles stayed down after landing. Trainers rushed to him as he lay on the warning track, clearly in pain.
Immediate Medical Attention on the Field
Robles was checked out on the field for several minutes by the Mariners’ medical team. A cart was eventually brought out, and he was taken off the field with the help of staff. He was met with loud applause from the crowd and supportive gestures from his teammates.
Though he appeared alert, the discomfort was clear on his face. He was seen holding his lower back or hip area as he was helped off.
Robles’ Value to the Mariners This Season
Robles, 27, is in his first season with the Seattle Mariners after playing several years for the Washington Nationals. Known for his speed and fielding skills, he’s made an immediate impact on the Mariners’ defense in center field.
He’s brought veteran presence and exciting energy to the team, and fans have quickly embraced him as a key player to watch this season.
What the Manager Said After the Game
After the game, Mariners manager Scott Servais addressed the media and spoke about Robles’ injury and the play itself.
“It was an unbelievable catch — one of the best I’ve seen,” Servais said. “But we’re more concerned right now about Victor’s health. We’ll wait for the medical team to do their full evaluation.”
Robles did not return to the game, and the team substituted another outfielder in his place.
No Official Update Yet
As of now, there’s been no official word on the extent of Robles’ injury. The team has said more details will be released after further testing. For now, his status for upcoming games remains uncertain.
Fans on social media have been sending Robles well-wishes, hoping for a quick and full recovery.
