GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The Mariners are near the finish line of Spring Training and have remained mostly healthy throughout, which made the injury scare to right fielder Victor Robles sting that much more in Saturday’s 14-1 win over vs. the White Sox.

Robles was forced to immediately exit after taking an 87.2 mph slider from reliever Gus Varland off his right hand area in the top of the fifth inning.

He was in visible pain as he paced down the third-base line, shaking his hand, and was examined briefly by Mariners head athletic trainer Kyle Torgerson before dipping into the visiting clubhouse. Fortunately for Robles and the Mariners, X-rays came back negative and he is considered day to day.

“So far, the indications are pretty positive,” manager Dan Wilson said on Sunday. “He’s not in [the lineup] today. I’ll give him a little bit of a break, but I think he should be fine. I think they’re just gonna continue to look at it and just give him a little bit of time here, and I think there’s a little bit of swelling, but outside of that, I think we’re in good shape.”

Robles has been hit by three pitches this spring but Saturday’s was the scariest, at least in terms of exhibiting obvious pain. Other than that, he’s been off to a strong start, with an .836 OPS and three homers in 53 at-bats, and played in three full games over the past week, which isn’t exactly typical of starters in Spring Training. He had two knocks in the first four innings of Saturday’s game before exiting.

“He brings a lot of life to this ballclub,” Wilson said Saturday morning.

Robles was hit by 11 pitches last season, 10 of which came after he signed with the Mariners on June 4 after being released by the Nationals.

A few of those HBPs -- specifically in the hand/wrist/fingers area -- actually forced him to miss games last year, though he was never placed on the injured list. That itself was remarkable given that Robles was arguably the most banged-up “healthy” player on the Mariners’ roster down the stretch, having also dealt with hip flexor and hamstring issues.

But that didn’t stop him from being one of Seattle’s most productive players. After joining the team to be a platoon fourth outfielder, Robles played into an everyday role and became a mainstay at leadoff, parlaying that production into a two-year, $9.75 million extension he signed on Aug. 13. Overall, he slashed .328/.393/.467 (.860 OPS) and was worth 3.1 wins above replacement, per FanGraphs, in 91 games.
