Schreck was placed on the shelf June 7 due to a left wrist sprain, and it took him quite some time to return to health. He hasn't been sharp at the dish since his return to Triple-A Buffalo, as he's gone 1-for-10 with three walks in four games after being activated Tuesday.
Though the details regarding Schreck's injury remain unknown, Zach Worden of Sportsnet relays the outfielder appeared to suffer the injury on an awkward slide in Buffalo's June 3 game against Worcester. The 26-year-old has produced a .230/.380/.399 slash line with seven home runs and four stolen bases across 229 plate appearances this season.
The 25-year-old outfielder spent about a month on Buffalo's IL while recovering from the hand injury. Since receiving a promotion from Double-A New Hampshire in early June, Schreck has put together a .235/.350/.529 slash line with three home runs over 40 plate appearances for Buffalo.
Schreck was removed from a June 17 game after being hit on the hand by a pitch before Buffalo placed him on its IL two days later. The outfielder looks on track to rejoin Buffalo shortly after the All-Star break, as he had appeared in four rehab games between the rookie-level Florida Complex League and Single-A Dunedin last week. Before getting shut down at Buffalo, Schreck hit .231 with two home runs in his first nine games at the Triple-A level after receiving a promotion from Double-A New Hampshire on June 4.
The Seattle Mariners acquired veteran Justin Turner from the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, adding a proven bat with postseason experience to a lineup ravaged by injuries and ineffectiveness. Turner joins outfielder Randy Arozarena as new additions to a Mariners team tied for first place with the Houston Astros in the American League West. Turner, 39, is hitting .257/.351/.373 with six home runs and 31 RBIs this season. "Justin has been one of the most productive corner infield bats in the league for over a decade," Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said. "With his track record at the plate and extensive experience in the postseason, he is a valuable addition to both our lineup and clubhouse." The Blue Jays will receive Double-A outfielder RJ Schreck in the deal. Turner signed a one-year, $13 million deal with Toronto over the winter in hopes of joining a playoff contender. The Blue Jays' struggles have prompted them to trade four players over the past three days, including right-handed reliever Yimi Garcia, who went to Seattle for outfielder Jonatan Clase. Seattle's addition of Arozarena filled a gap in its outfield, and Turner could spend time at first base -- where rookie Tyler Locklear has played after the Mariners designated Ty France for assignment -- or designated hitter, an area of struggle all season. Over the past week, Turner has shown flashes of excellence, hitting .565 and posting three three-hit games. His playoff pedigree appealed to the Mariners, a young team with minimal postseason experience. Turner played in nine consecutive postseasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including their 2020 World Series victory. In 86 games, he hit .270/.370/.460 with 13 home runs and 42 RBIs.
