The Seattle Times’ Ryan Divish was first to report the news.
The 20-year-old shortstop is slashing .255/.347/.469 with seven home runs and 26 RBIs over 38 games for the triple-A Tacoma Rainiers this season.
Selected 22nd overall in the first round of the 2023 MLB Draft out of high school, Emerson has steadily risen through the minors and prospect rankings despite being limited by various injuries.
The Mariners signed Emerson to an eight-year, $95-million contract on April 1, the largest deal for a prospect yet to make his major league debut.
The contract starts in 2026 and includes a team option for 2034. It exceeded Jackson Chourio’s eight-year, $82-million deal with the Milwaukee Brewers when he was still a minor leaguer in 2023.
The Mariners are currently third in the AL West at 22-25, one season removed from winning the division. Seattle hosts the San Diego Padres on Sunday night.
