Go inside the dugout with the Seattle Mariners and Tacoma Rainiers
Wednesday, June 21st, 2006

A story on MLB.com reports that catcher Jeff Clement, the Mariners' top draft pick from last year, will join the Rainiers tonight.

Clement, the third overall selection, has been rehabbing from two surgeries on his left elbow (bone chips) and left knee (tear in meniscus) he had in May. The recovery was supposed to take 6- to 8- weeks but general manager Bill Bavasi told MLB.com that Clement is ahead of schedule and that there's no timetable for how long Clement will stay with the Rainiers.

Before the surgeries, Clement was hitting .288 with two homers and 10 RBI in 15 games for Double-A San Antonio.
