Drayer: Bad day for Mariners with injury news and results on the field

• Kyle Seager’s hand injury, which general manager Jerry Dipoto indicated could keep him out of action for a significant amount of time.

• Hard-throwing reliever Gerson Bautista’s arm injury suffered on Sunday.

• The veteran slugger who has been a surprise this spring.
