Seattle was the 27-year-old's second major-league team of the season after beginning with San Francisco. |

The 35-year-old, who typically platoons against lefties, is starting against Dodgers southpaw Justin Wrobleski on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, the Mariners designated Buddy Kennedy for assignment. |

George Kirby George Kirby Rocked for seven runs in loss
Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 5:06 PM
Kirby (8-9) took the loss against the Rangers on Monday, allowing seven runs on seven hits while striking out three across four innings.
Analysis: Kirby tied a career high with four home runs allowed in Monday's game, two of which came off the bat of Joc Pederson, and the seven runs that the former allowed were his most of the season and his most since Sept. 3, 2025. It broke Kirby's streak of quality starts at six, and it was just the second time this season that he completed less than five innings. He'll take a 3.98 ERA and 1.30 WHIP over 120 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against Minnesota. |

Analysis: Mitch Garver will handle catching duties and Julio Rodriguez will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter while Raleigh gets his first day off since he returned from the injured list June 16. The 2025 All-Star hasn't shown much sign of breaking out his season-long slumber at the plate over the last five-plus weeks following his activation, slashing just .170/.304/.277 with a 32.6 percent strikeout during that stretch. |

Analysis: Canzone rattled off three hits, with his most important one being a three-run homer in the seventh inning to put the Mariners ahead 4-3. The 28-year-old has had a tame July, slashing .219/.286/.391 with three homers, 12 RBI and five runs scored across 16 contests, but he has otherwise been among the club's top offensive performers this season. Overall, Canzone is hitting .260/.332/.512 with 16 homers, 46 RBI and 35 runs scored over 91 games. |

The hard-throwing right-hander has been locked in since mid-June, riding a 13-inning scoreless streak with eight saves during the stretch.

Logan Gilbert Logan Gilbert Nears quality start Sunday
Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 10:57 PM
Gilbert did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-4 win over the Rangers. He struck out four.
Analysis: Gilbert wasn't at his best but was still serviceable, falling one out shy of recording a quality start. Known for his ability to generate whiffs, the right-hander's four strikeouts marked his fewest since May 4 and just the fourth time he hasn't racked up at least five punchouts this season. The 29-year-old will take an 8-6 record with a 3.44 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 133:27 K:BB across 125.2 innings (21 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Saturday against the Twins. |

Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 2:46 PM
The Mariners optioned Davila to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Analysis: Davila allowed a run over 1.1 innings during Saturday's game against the Rangers and will now head to Triple-A in favor of a fresh bullpen arm. The 27-year-old rookie has a 3.57 ERA and 1.19 WHIP over 22.2 innings this year, though his 9:11 K:BB paints a less-encouraging outlook of his performance. |

Sun, Jul 26, 2026, 2:43 PM

J.P. Crawford J.P. Crawford Knocks in lone run
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 10:28 PM
Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double and one RBI in Saturday's 7-1 loss to the Rangers.
Analysis: Crawford missed four games due to wrist soreness. He was the only Mariner to log multiple hits in this loss and also plated the team's lone run with an RBI double to drive in Luke Raley in the fifth inning. Crawford has hit .250 (12-for-48) in July and .220 on the season, adding a .699 OPS, 10 home runs, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored, 11 doubles and one stolen base through 83 contests this year. |

Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 10:25 PM
Woo (7-7) allowed five runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out five over five innings to take the loss versus the Rangers on Saturday.
Analysis: Woo allowed all five runs over the first two innings. It's the fourth time in his last eight starts he's given up at least five runs as he continues to battle inconsistency on a week-to-week basis this year. The right-hander has a 4.37 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 114:24 K:BB through 115.1 innings over 20 starts. Woo's next start is projected to be at home versus the Twins. |

Analysis: Crawford has been sidelined by a sore left wrist for each of the Mariners' last four games, but the veteran infielder has been cleared to return for Saturday's contest. He is slashing .215/.338/.352 with one steal, 10 homers and 28 RBI across 349 plate appearances this season. |

Tosses five perfect frames
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 9:17 AM
Anderson struck out seven batters over five perfect innings in a game with Double-A Arkansas on Friday.
Analysis: Anderson -- presumably for rest purposes with no injury reported -- had not taken the mound in three weeks, but he picked up right where he left off and showed no signs of rust. It's unclear what Seattle's plans are for Anderson the rest of the way, but with the lefty sporting a 1.27 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and eye-popping 115:10 K:BB in 77.2 innings over 15 starts on the season, it's evident Double-A batters are no match. |
