OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -Seattle catcher Kenji Johjima likely will be out for at least two weeks after breaking his left big toe on a play at the plate early in the Mariners’ 6-1 loss to Oakland on Monday.
Johjima was hurt when Adam Kennedy slid into his foot while scoring the Athletics’ first run in the first inning. Johjima stayed in the game and even homered in the second, but left the game in the third when his toe began to swell.
Postgame X-rays revealed the broken bone. Johjima probably will be out “at least a couple weeks,” according to Seattle manager Don Wakamatsu.
Rob Johnson replaced Johjima, who began the day batting .241. The Mariners haven’t decided how to replace Johjima on their roster.
