Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Kris Negron (face) exited early during Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins. Negron tried to rob a hit in the fifth inning by diving for a ball, but face-planted and busted open his nose. Matt Beaty replaced him in the outfield for the rest of the game. Negron should be fine and isn't expected to land on the injured list.
Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto announced on Thursday that the team acquired infielder/outfielder Kris Negron from the Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations. He will be assigned to Triple-A Tacoma. Negron played in just 16 games for the D-backs the last two years. He was hitting .283 with 15 home runs, 45 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 118 games for Triple-A Reno this year and will provide the M's with nice organizational depth.
