Promoted to Triple-A
Mon, Jul 6, 2026, 8:40 AM
The Mariners promoted Arroyo from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kremer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Arroyo earned a promotion to the Mariners' top minor-league affiliate after slashing .287/.364/.456 with 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases across 65 games at Arkansas. The 21-year-old has split time between second base and left field this season, two positions that are occupied by Cole Young and Randy Arozarena, respectively, in the majors. Arroyo is now one step away from his debut, but it might take an injury for him to be summoned to the big leagues in 2026. |

Moving up to Triple-A
Mon, Jul 6, 2026, 8:32 AM
The Mariners promoted Montes from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Montes slashed .234/.369/.550 with 25 home runs at Arkansas, which included a 1.199 OPS in June. Contact remains an issue, as the hulking slugger has struck out at a 30.4 percent clip in 2026, but he has some of the best power of any minor-league hitter and has a chance to reach the majors before the end of this season. |

Mitch Garver Mitch Garver Clubs two-run homer in win
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 8:17 PM
Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Garver provided some offense in what was largely a pitcher's duel, driving a two-run homer to left field off Trey Yesavage in the fourth inning. Since Cal Raleigh returned from the injured list June 16, Garver has seen limited playing time but drew the start behind the plate Sunday with Raleigh serving as the designated hitter. On the year, Garver is hitting .194/.325/.330 with four homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs scored across 123 plate appearances. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Dazzles in sixth win
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 7:58 PM
Hancock (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against Toronto. He struck out five.
Analysis: Hancock navigated the Toronto lineup with little resistance, as he didn't allow a hit after the second inning as part of a seven-inning shutout performance. After surrendering 11 runs across 9.1 innings in his previous two starts, the right-hander has gotten back into a rhythm by allowing just one run over 12.2 innings in his past two outings. Hancock will take a 3.23 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB across 97.2 innings (17 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next Sunday against Tampa Bay if Seattle continues to operate with a standard six-man rotation, though a piggyback appearance remains a possibility. |

Dominic Canzone Dominic Canzone Out of Sunday's lineup
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 3:17 PM
Canzone is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Canzone started the previous three games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 3-for-11 with two walks, a homer, three RBI and two total runs during that span. Cal Raleigh will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Mitch Garver starts behind the plate in the series finale. |

Logan Gilbert Logan Gilbert Dominant in seventh win
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:29 PM
Gilbert (7-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out seven over 7.1 scoreless innings.
Analysis: Gilbert allowed a softly hit single in the fifth inning but was otherwise untouchable, generating a whopping 18 swinging strikes on 91 pitches. It marked the deepest the 29-year-old has worked into a game this season, and he's now logged four quality starts in his past five outings. He owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 114:22 K:BB across 107.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Rays next weekend in his final start before the All-Star break. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Homers in win
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:19 PM
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Raleigh smacked a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mariners in double digits. It was the 29-year-old's first hit in three July contests, and he's now batting just .161 with two homers and nine RBI in 17 games since returning from the injured list June 16. On the year, he's slashing a lowly .161/.264/.309 with nine homers, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals across 250 plate appearances. |

Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:12 PM
Canzone went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Canzone launched a two-run shot in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the sixth. While the 28-year-old has started only eight of the Mariners' past 12 games, he's gone deep three times during that span. On the year, he's slashing .273/.349/.551 with 14 homers, 37 RBI, 32 runs scored and one steal across 232 plate appearances. |

Randy Arozarena Randy Arozarena Monster performance in rout
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:04 PM
Arozarena went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Arozarena fell a triple shy of the cycle, highlighted by a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning. Since returning from the injured list June 23, the 31-year-old has gone 10-for-39 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 11 contests. Fresh off earning his third career All-Star nod, he's slashing .287/.376/.453 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored and 19 steals across 348 plate appearances this season. |

Brendan Donovan Brendan Donovan Cleared for rehab assignment
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 1:51 PM
Donovan (groin) will embark on a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Donovan is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a left groin strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list in mid-May. Given the length of his absence, the veteran infielder seems unlikely to return to the majors until after the All-Star break. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Getting traditional start Sunday
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 1:48 PM
Hancock will no longer piggyback Logan Gilbert against the Blue Jays on Saturday, with Hancock instead drawing the start for Sunday's series finale, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: For a second straight week, the duo of Hancock and Gilbert will get their own traditional starts. Hancock looked good in his last outing this past Sunday against the Guardians, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six across 5.2 innings in a no-decision. The 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB across 90.2 innings this season. |

Logan Gilbert Logan Gilbert No longer being piggybacked
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 1:46 PM
Emerson Hancock will no longer piggyback Gilbert for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Gilbert and Hancock will make their own traditional starts this weekend, with the latter taking the mound for Sunday's series finale. Gilbert took the loss in his last outing against the Guardians on June 27, when he allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out seven across seven frames. He has a 3.42 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 107:22 K:BB across 100 innings this season. |

Victor Robles Victor Robles In Friday's lineup
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 5:56 PM
Robles (forearm) will start in center field and bat eighth against the Blue Jays on Friday.
Analysis: Robles was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels after taking a pitch to his right forearm. X-rays came back negative, and the veteran outfielder has been cleared for Friday's game. Robles should see an uptick in playing time for at least the next week after the Mariners placed Julio Rodriguez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. |

Cooper Criswell Cooper Criswell Moved to 60-day IL
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 5:36 PM
Seattle transferred Criswell (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: The move opens up a spot on the 40-man roster that the Mariners needed for Miles Mastrobuoni, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma after Julio Rodriguez (concussion) was placed on the 7-day IL. Criswell was diagnosed with a Grade-1 pectoral strain in mid-June but has since been tagged with a shoulder strain. The move to the 60-day IL doesn't change his projected return for early August, though a clearer timeline will be established once Criswell embarks on a rehab assignment. |

Miles Mastrobuoni Miles Mastrobuoni Back with Seattle
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 5:32 PM
The Mariners selected Mastrobuoni's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Analysis: Mastrobuoni was DFA'd by the Mariners in mid-June but is back with the big club to provide depth in the outfield after Julio Rodriguez (concussion) was placed on the 7-day injured list. Mastrobuoni has spent most of the 2026 season in Triple-A, where he has a .603 OPS with five steals, one home run and three RBI over 71 plate appearances. |

Julio Rodriguez Julio Rodriguez Officially placed on 7-day IL
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 5:27 PM
The Mariners placed Rodriguez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list Friday.
Analysis: The move to the 7-day IL was an expected one once Rodriguez entered the league's concussion protocol following Thursday's game against the Angels. He's eligible to be reinstated from the IL on July 10, but whether Rodriguez returns before the All-Star break depends on how he progresses through concussion protocol. In a corresponding move, the Mariners selected Miles Mastrobuoni's contract from Triple-A Tacoma and transferred Cooper Criswell (shoulder) to the 60-day IL. |

Julio Rodriguez Julio Rodriguez Expected to go on 7-day IL
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 4:48 PM
The Mariners are expected to place Rodriguez on the 7-day concussion injured list Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Rodriguez entered the league's concussion protocol following Thursday's game against the Angels, when he was removed after being hit in the back of the helmet by a throw from Nolan Schanuel in the first inning. Rodriguez will need to move through multiple checkpoints before being cleared of the concussion protocol but is eligible to be activated off the IL before the All-Star break. A corresponding move has yet to be announced, though Kremer notes that Miles Mastrobuoni has a locker ahead of Friday's series opener against the Blue Jays. |

Victor Robles Victor Robles Removed early with forearm injury
Thu, Jul 2, 2026, 9:51 PM
Robles was removed from Thursday night's contest against the Angels in the fifth inning with a right forearm injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Robles took a 97.9 mph sinker from Walbert Urena off his right forearm in the bottom of the third inning, and he was later replaced in the outfield by Weston Wilson before the top of the fifth. Robles had already entered the game in place of Julio Rodriguez (head), and Seattle will now operate especially short-handed for the remainder of the contest. More information on the status of Robles will likely come following the conclusion of Thursday's series finale. |

Julio Rodriguez Julio Rodriguez Exits early Thursday
Thu, Jul 2, 2026, 9:20 PM
Rodriguez was removed from Thursday night's contest against the Angels in the third inning after taking a blow to the head earlier in the game, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Rodriguez took a 78.2 mph throw from Nolan Schanuel off the back of his helmet while advancing to second base on a ground ball in the bottom of the first inning. After he was able to remain in the contest for an additional frame, he was replaced in center field by Victor Robles in the top of the third. Rodriguez will likely undergo additional testing to determine if he suffered a concussion. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Closing piggyback game Saturday
Thu, Jul 2, 2026, 5:37 PM
Hancock will be used as the latter half of a piggyback game with starter Logan Gilbert on Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Hancock was set to follow Gilbert out of the bullpen last Saturday, but the Mariners decided shortly before the game to give them both their own separate starts during the weekend. The team will now revive their original plan this Saturday, which presumably involves Hancock remaining on the mound through the end of the game once Gilbert's day is done. The 27-year-old posted a 5.19 ERA and 1.15 WHIP across 26 innings in June, but he ended the month on a strong note while allowing just one earned run in 5.2 frames against Cleveland. |
