Victor Robles Carted Off After Spectacular Catch in Mariners Game
Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles made a stunning defensive play on Sunday that quickly turned into a worrying incident for fans and teammates. In the midst of the game, Robles pursued a deep fly ball to center field, executed a leaping catch, and subsequently crashed to the ground.
Though the catch was successful — and arguably one of the top highlights of the season so far — Robles remained on the ground after landing. Trainers hurried to his side as he lay on the warning track, clearly in distress.
Immediate Medical Attention on the Field
Robles received examination on the field for several minutes by the Mariners’ medical team. Eventually, a cart was brought out, and he was taken off the field with assistance from staff. He was met with enthusiastic applause from the crowd and supportive gestures from his teammates.
Although he appeared alert, the discomfort was evident on his face. He was observed holding his lower back or hip region as he was assisted off the field.
Robles’ Value to the Mariners This Season
Robles, 27, is in his inaugural season with the Seattle Mariners following several years with the Washington Nationals. Renowned for his speed and defensive abilities, he has made an immediate impact on the Mariners’ defense.
He has infused experience and excitement into the team, and fans have quickly taken to him as a vital player to monitor this season.
What the Manager Said After the Game
Post-game, Mariners manager Scott Servais addressed the media regarding Robles’ injury and the spectacular play.
‘It was an unbelievable catch — one of the best I’ve seen. But we’re more concerned right now about Victor’s health. We’ll wait for the medical team to do their full evaluation.’
Robles did not return to the game, and the team substituted another outfielder in his stead.

At this point, an official update on the severity of Robles’ injury has not been given. The team has indicated that more information will be shared following further testing. Currently, his status for the upcoming games remains up in the air.
