Seattle Mariners' utility in-fielder Miles Mastro Boni is heading back to the team's major lead camp in Peoria, Arizona after suffering a calf muscle, injury while playing for team Italy in the World Baseball Classic. The injury happened during their game against Team USA, according to a report from USA Today's Bob Nightingale. We don't know the full severity yet, but it's enough to pull him from the tournament. Mastro Boni joined the Mariners last offseason in a low-key trade with the Chicago Cubs for cash considerations. He quickly became their go-to versatile player, filling a role similar to what Dylan Moore used to handle before being let go. Last year he shuttled between the minors and majors. In 76 career high games at the Big League level, Mastro Boni hit 250 batting average, 324 on base 296. Slugging for 620 OPS, he added four doubles, one home run and 12 RBI's, which was also

With no minor league options left, the Mariners face decisions if he doesn't make the opening day roster, they'd have to designate him for assignment, or release him outright.
