Mariners reliever Julio Mateo dropped a weight on his left hand Monday afternoon, breaking the fourth metacarpal. Manager Mike Hargrove said Mateo is probably lost for the season.
Mateo was not with the team during batting practice. Trainier Rick Griffin said at about 3 p.m. Mateo was attempting to put a dumbbell back on a rack but slipped and hit his hand. Griffin said Mateo will be in a splint until Friday when he'll have the hand placed in a permanent cast.
Mateo, who had not given up a run in his last seven appearances, is a valuable middle reliever who leads the majors with nine wins in relief. His spot on the roster will be filled by a Rainier, although Hargrove said he did not know who just yet.
