Mariners place Emerson Hancock on injured list due to adductor strain

In the United States, the Seattle Mariners placed right-hander Emerson Hancock on the 15-day injured list due to a strained left adductor. This decision was made retroactive to August 29, following Hancock's injury during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He allowed eight hits and two home runs in that game. The Mariners are currently on a four-game losing streak and are considering Bryce Miller to fill Hancock's spot in the rotation.
