ANAHEIM, Calif. — Seattle Mariners<\/a> top prospect Colt Emerson was listed as day to day on Sunday and had negative X-rays a day after he fouled a ball off his right foot.<\/p>\n

Emerson exited the first game of a doubleheader for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. The shortstop was expected to soon join a Mariners core that includes 2025 American League most valuable player runner-up Cal Raleigh<\/a>, Julio Rodriguez<\/a> and Josh Naylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Emerson, 20, signed an eight-year, $95 million contract extension with a club option for a ninth year and escalators that could push the deal to $130 million last week. It is the largest contract ever for a player without major league service time, surpassing Jackson Chourio’s $82 million deal with the Brewers.<\/p>\n
