The Mariners placed Rodden on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left patella tendon inflammation.
It's unclear how long Rodden's knee has been bothering him, but the injury will prematurely end the infielder's season. He'll finish with a lowly .197/.306/.279 batting line with zero home runs and zero stolen bases in 30 contests for the Mariners.

Rotowire
Rodden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
A switch hitter, Rodden posted a .679 OPS versus lefties and an .884 OPS versus righties at Triple-A Tacoma this season before being promoted to Seattle on Aug. 14. Those wide splits have persisted in limited action in the majors thus far, with Rodden submitting a .544 OPS versus lefties and a .675 OPS against righties through his first 18 games with Seattle. He'll hit the bench for a second game in a row while the Athletics send another lefty (Gage Jump) to the hill.
