Overview

• General manager Justin Hollander said Bliss tore the meniscus in his right knee during a Triple-A Tacoma rehab game and underwent season-ending surgery on Monday.
• The injury occurred on the bases after an awkward slide, ending a rehab in which Bliss hit .385 over six games following his return to action on August 28.
• Bliss had been on the 60-day injured list since April after a biceps rupture that required surgery and sidelined the Opening Day second baseman for most of the year.
• With Bliss out, second base shifts to Polanco and recent call-up Leo Rivas, while prospect Cole Young remains on the bench during a prolonged slump.
• Hollander voiced hope that Bliss could be ready by spring training, leaving Seattle to rely on infield depth during a tight wild-card and AL West race.
