Mariners | Jose Lopez unlikely to return

Seattle Mariners 3B Jose Lopez (finger) is unlikely to play again this year after dislocating the middle finger on his right hand Tuesday, Sept. 28, according to MLB.com's Jim Street. "They got it back in and there is no other damage," interim manager Daren Brown said after the Mariners' 3-1 victory over the Rangers. "He'll be sore and I don't see him being able to throw for the next five days, but he might be able to swing the bat in a couple of days." 3B Matt Tuiasosopo and IF Matt Mangini are expected to share the position for the final days of the season.
