Mariners' Dom Thompson-Williams: Out for 2020 season after surgery
Rotowire
Thompson-Williams underwent surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles and will miss the entire 2020 season, Jonathan Mayo of MLB.com reports.
This is a tough break for Thompson-Williams, who was acquired from the Yankees in the James Paxton deal in 2018. The 24-year-old outfielder spent all of the 2019 season with Double-A Arkansas, slashing .234/.298/.391 with 12 home runs and 15 stolen bases in 115 games.

Mariners' Dom Thompson-Williams: Reassigned to minor-league camp
Rotowire
Thompson-Williams, who hit .188 over 16 spring at-bats, was reassigned to minor-league camp Sunday, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
Thompson-Williams was getting his first taste of major-league camp as a non-roster invitee this spring, and while he scuffled over the small sample against big-league arms, it represented the next step in his development. The 23-year-old outfielder, who is RotoWire's 10th-ranked prospect in the Mariners organization, is likely to open the season at Double-A Arkansas after slashing .290/.356/.517 with 37 extra-base hits (16 doubles, four triples, 17 home runs), 65 RBI and 17 steals across 371 plate appearances at High-A Tampa in the Yankees' system in 2018.
