    Carp goes on 15-day DL after first-game injury

    TOKYO — Mike Carp was placed on the 15-day disabled list Thursday after spraining his right shoulder diving for a ball on Opening Day Wednesday at the Tokyo Dome.

    He was replaced in left field by Chone Figgins for Thursday night’s wrap-up game in Japan against the Oakland A’s. Figgins’ primary spot at third base was filled by Kyle Seager.

    In the fourth inning, Carp, 25, dove for ball hit by Kurt Suzuki that went for a double. He stayed in the game, went 0-for-4, and was examined Thursday. The extent of the injury awaits a re-evaluation when the team returns to spring training in Arizona Friday.

    In 12 spring games, Carp hit .222 with one home run and 4 RBIs. MLB.com selected him as the club’s breakout player of the year. He played 79 games for the Mariners in 2011, hitting .276 with 12 homers and 46 RBIs. Wednesday was his first Opening Day on an MLB roster.

    Carlos Peguero, who accompanied the team to Japan as part of the 30-man roster but was optioned to AAA Tacoma Tuesday, was placed on the active roster.

      Yikes, hopefully he gets better quickly and can be back in full force by May.

      This is the M’s weakness:  depth.  Do they have enough of it?  Or rather, do they have the kind of bench that can take over in the event of injury?  IMO, the bench would have been better served with a more veteran approach by the club.  Wish they picked up Omar Vizquel whom the Blue Jays recently picked up.  Imagine what Ackley and Seager (and maybe even Figgins) could have learned from him.
