Mariners' Jonny Farmelo: Expected to miss half of 2025
Rotowire
Farmelo (knee) is not expected to be able to play until midseason in 2025, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Farmelo suffered a torn ACL in his right knee in June and it'll apparently keep him sidelined for a chunk of the 2025 campaign. The 20-year-old produced a .264 average with four home runs, 25 RBI, 38 runs scored and 18 stolen bases over 178 at-bats in 45 games with Single-A Modesto before sustaining the injury in 2024.

Rotowire
Single-A Modesto placed Farmelo on its 7-day injured list Friday after he was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his right knee, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Farmelo, one of the Mariners' top prospects, suffered the injury Tuesday and is slated to undergo season-ending surgery in the coming days. He was off to a strong start to the season with Modesto, slashing .264/.398/.421 slash line with 18 steals in 221 plate appearances.

Mariners' Jonny Farmelo: Heating up for Modesto
Rotowire
Farmelo is hitting .368 with a .500 OBP, three doubles, four steals and an 11:9 K:BB in his last 10 games for Single-A Modesto.
The athletic center fielder has a 133 wRC+, 17.2 percent walk rate and a 24.6 percent strikeout rate in 28 games after failing to make his pro debut last year after getting drafted with the 29th overall pick. Farmelo turns 20 in September, and it would make sense for him to get a bump to High-A Everett in the coming weeks.
