Yuniesky Betancourt tweaked his lower hamstring early into tonight’s ballgame then went on to aggravate it late and in a big way.  Geoff Baker reports that he’ll likely hit the DL tomorrow, having Jose Lopez take his roster spot.

Assuming that’s the plan, Seattle will continue to roster both Chris Woodward and Josh Wilson.  Ronny Cedeno probably becomes the primary starting shortstop while remaining the fourth outfielder, while Woodward becomes second string second and third baseman and Wilson backs up at shortstop.

All said, if Betancourt is feeling a lot better tomorrow the team could decide to hold off on the DL stint.  This year’s Mariners have been very reluctant to DL even their bench players, so stay tuned for an update.
