Fri, Sep 11, 2026, 5:33 PM
Montes is not in Seattle's lineup against the Athletics on Friday.
Analysis: With Jeffrey Springs toeing the slab for the A's, the left-handed-hitting Montes will ride the pine for Friday's series opener. Dominic Canzone will man right field and bat third for the Mariners. |

Andres Munoz Andres Munoz Picks up 26th save
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 5:46 PM
Munoz earned the save in Wednesday's 3-2 win over Texas, working around a hit while striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis: Munoz found himself in trouble in the ninth after issuing a walk to lead off the frame. After the runner advanced to second on a fielder's choice, Munoz proceeded to strike out the next two batters, stranding the tying run and logging his 26th save this season. The 27-year-old Munoz has been sharp of late, allowing just two runs on two hits while striking out 15 in his last nine innings. Overall, his ERA sits at 4.05 across 53.1 innings this year with a 1.14 WHIP and 85:21 K:BB. |

Kade Anderson Kade Anderson Notches first big-league win
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 5:39 PM
Anderson (1-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Rangers, allowing a run on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: After giving up four runs in a loss to the A's his last time out, Anderson responded with his best start in the majors thus far. The southpaw allowed one run on a Jake Burger homer in the second inning before holding the Rangers to just three hits over his final four frames en route to both his first win and quality start with Seattle. Through four outings, Anderson sports a 4.29 ERA with a 1.38 WHIP and 16:8 K:BB over 21 innings. He's tentatively lined up to face the Angels on the road in his next start. |

Lazaro Montes Lazaro Montes Sitting again versus lefty
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 12:58 PM
Montes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Analysis: Since his promotion, the left-handed-hitting Montes has now been held out of the lineup all four times the Mariners have faced a lefty hurler. He did deal with a minor hip injury during that time, as well, but it seems clear the rookie will be used on the strong side of a platoon. Montes clubbed his second big-league home run in Tuesday's game, and he's 4-for-18 with a 1:9 BB:K in his first six games in the majors. |

Lazaro Montes Lazaro Montes Launches second homer
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 6:44 AM
Montes went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 10-5 loss to the Rangers.
Analysis: Making his return to the lineup after missing Seattle's previous two games with a hip injury, Montes cut the M's deficit to 4-3 in the fourth inning with a three-run blast off Cal Quantrill that traveled 474 feet, tied for the longest homer in the majors this season. After going 2-for-4 with a home run in his major-league debut Sept. 1, Montes had gone just 1-for-10 in his subsequent four contests. Still, the rookie should see regular playing time down the stretch in a strong-side platoon role. |

Stuart Fairchild Stuart Fairchild Designated for assignment
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 5:17 PM
The Mariners designated Fairchild for assignment Tuesday.
Analysis: Fairchild's stint in the majors lasted just five days after his contract was selected by Seattle on Thursday. Victor Robles will replace Fairchild on the active roster, in his return from the Family Medical Emergency List. The 30-year-old did not appear in any games for the Mariners and will look to find a new team once he clears waivers. |

Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 5:15 PM
The Mariners reinstated Milner from the family medical emergency list Tuesday.
Analysis: Milner was placed on the family medical emergency list Friday. Tory Taylor took Milner's spot on the active roster, but was optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday in a corresponding move. |
|
Troy Taylor Troy Taylor Sent to Tacoma
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 5:13 PM
Seattle optioned Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Analysis: Taylor did not appear in any games since being called up Friday, and will quickly make his return to Tacoma on Tuesday. The 24-year-old owns a 4.99 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 60:35 K:BB over 52.1 innings in Triple-A this season. With Hoby Milner coming back from the Family Medical Emergency List, he will replace Taylor on the active roster. |

Lazaro Montes Lazaro Montes Back in lineup
Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 4:33 PM
Montes (hip) will serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth Tuesday against the Rangers.
Analysis: Montes entered each of Seattle's last two games off the bench after suffering a hip injury Friday, and he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine for Tuesday's series opener. The 21-year-old homered in his MLB debut last Tuesday but has since gone just 1-for-10 with an RBI and six strikeouts in four contests. |

Andres Munoz Andres Munoz Reaches 25-save mark
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 6:38 PM
Munoz pitched a perfect inning and struck out one to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Athletics.
Analysis: Munoz finished the job after Bryan Woo's eight innings of one-hit ball. A rough end to August saw Munoz work in non-save situations for his first two games in September, and he's started the month with 2.2 perfect innings. He's had his share of struggles this year with a 4.13 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 83:20 K:BB through 52.1 innings this season. He has converted 25 of 34 save chances this year. |

Bryan Woo Bryan Woo Spins gem Sunday
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 6:35 PM
Woo (11-9) allowed one hit and two walks while striking out nine over eight shutout innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Sunday.
Analysis: Woo has made some improvements on the road since the start of August, and he was able to take that momentum back home this time. He threw 73 of 102 pitches for strikes in his best and longest start of the season. This was the fifth time this year (fourth at home) where he's covered at least seven scoreless inning while allowing four or fewer baserunners. Woo has a 4.03 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 158:33 K:BB through 156.1 innings over 27 starts on the year. His next outing is expected to be a rematch versus the Athletics in Sacramento, which is a bit concerning given Woo's 5.63 ERA on the road this year. |

Nick Davila Nick Davila Shuttered for season
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 3:31 PM
The Mariners transferred Davila (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analysis: Davila's initial placement on the shelf was retroactive to Aug. 31, so his move to the 60-day IL will officially bring an end to his season. Before going down with an SC joint sprain in his right shoulder, Davila made 24 appearances out of the Seattle bullpen and submitted a 4.94 ERA and 1.35 WHIP across 27.1 innings. |

Patrick Wisdom Patrick Wisdom Dispatched to minor leagues
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 3:29 PM
The Mariners optioned Wisdom to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Analysis: Wisdom will give up his spot on the 28-man active roster to outfielder/infielder Michael Arroyo, who was called up from Tacoma. Over two separate stints in the majors this season, Wisdom has slashed just .106/.160/.191 with 21 strikeouts in 50 plate appearances. |

Taylor Ward Taylor Ward Falls into platoon role
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 3:09 PM
Ward is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis: Following the recent promotion of Lazaro Montes (hip) to the big leagues, Ward appears to have faded into a short-side platoon role. Each of Ward's last four starts have come against left-handed pitching, and the Mariners have kept him on the bench for three consecutive matchups with righties. Since being acquired from the Orioles on Aug. 3, Ward has slashed just .105/.200/.132 with one extra-base hit (a triple) and a 28.2 percent strikeout rate. |

Brock Rodden Brock Rodden Sitting against lefty again
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 3:05 PM
Rodden is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis: A switch hitter, Rodden posted a .679 OPS versus lefties and an .884 OPS versus righties at Triple-A Tacoma this season before being promoted to Seattle on Aug. 14. Those wide splits have persisted in limited action in the majors thus far, with Rodden submitting a .544 OPS versus lefties and a .675 OPS against righties through his first 18 games with Seattle. He'll hit the bench for a second game in a row while the Athletics send another lefty (Gage Jump) to the hill. |

Cole Young Cole Young Gives way to Arroyo vs. lefty
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 3:01 PM
Young is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis: Young had started each of the Mariners' last nine games, but after producing a poor .188/.333/.250 slash line during that stretch, he'll hit the bench Sunday. The Mariners called up one of their top prospects in Michael Arroyo from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he'll immediately enter the lineup in place of Young, starting at second base against left-hander Gage Jump. The right-handed-hitting Arroyo could end up settling into a platoon at the keystone with Young, who is batting .218/.278/.294 (69 wRC+) over 187 plate appearances versus lefties. |

Lazaro Montes Lazaro Montes Sitting again Sunday
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 2:38 PM
Montes (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.
Analysis: The 21-year-old Montes departed Friday's contest due to left hip soreness and is on the bench Sunday for a second consecutive game, which will provide him with an extra day of rest since the Mariners have a team day off Monday. Dominic Canzone is manning right field for Seattle while Cal Raleigh rests his legs as the designated hitter. |

Batting eighth in MLB debut
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 1:28 PM
The Mariners selected Arroyo's contract from Triple-A Tacoma, and he'll start at second base and bat eighth Sunday against the Athletics.
Analysis: The 21-year-old has made the transition to left field this season but has continued to see action at second base for Tacoma, and the latter position is where he'll make his MLB debut. Arroyo, who is one of Seattle's top prospects, opened the campaign with Double-A Arkansas before being promoted to Triple-A in early July. He's posted an .830 OPS with 18 home runs and 17 steals in 114 games between the two levels. |
