Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 6:45 PM
The Mariners signed Woods Richardson to a minor-league contract Wednesday and was assigned to Triple-A Tacoma.
Analysis: Woods Richardson entered free agency Tuesday after being designated for assignment by the Blue Jays on Friday. The veteran right-hander will get a new opportunity with Seattle and could get an opportunity to pitch for the big club if he strings together strong outings in the minors. Woods Richardson has a 6.68 ERA and 1.76 WHIP across 66 major-league innings this season. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Sitting out afternoon contest
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 12:24 PM
Raleigh is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.
Analysis: Raleigh had started the last 11 contests for the Mariners and went deep seven times during that span, but he'll receive a breather during Wednesday's matinee. Jhonny Pereda will be behind the dish for the Mariners in the rubber match. |

Lazaro Montes Sitting versus southpaw
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 12:21 PM
Montes is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.
Analysis: Montes homered as part of a two-hit day in his major-league debut Tuesday, but the left-handed batter will not start Wednesday as the Red Sox send southpaw Patrick Sandoval to the bump. Taylor Ward is in right field for the Mariners, and he will likely continue to platoon with Montes between that position and designated hitter. |

Dominic Canzone Dominic Canzone Launches 21st homer in win
Wed, Sep 2, 2026, 8:44 AM
Canzone went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox.
Analysis: He got Seattle on the board in the first inning with a 406-foot solo shot off Jedixson Paez, Canzone's 21st homer of the year. Canzone has gone 3-for-10 with three extra-base hits in his last two games after going just 5-for-31 (.161) across his prior eight contests. Overall, Canzone is slashing .255/.326/.486 with 62 RBI and 48 runs scored through 429 plate appearances this season. |

Randy Arozarena Randy Arozarena Cracks three-run homer
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 11:07 PM
Arozarena went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer during Tuesday's 9-6 win over the Red Sox.
Analysis: Jedixson Paez made his major-league debut Tuesday, but the Mariners jumped on the Red Sox's 22-year-old right-hander with five runs in the second inning, three of which came off the bat of Arozarena on a homer over the Green Monster. Arozarena has gone 5-for-10 with two home runs, seven RBI and four runs scored through the first two games of the series against Boston. For the season, he has an .837 OPS with 20 steals, 22 home runs and 65 RBI over 566 plate appearances. |

Homers in major-league debut
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 10:59 PM
Montes went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 9-6 win over Boston.
Analysis: Montes was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of his major-league debut Tuesday, serving as the designated hitter. His RBI single in the third inning was his first big-league hit before belting a 407-foot solo homer to center field in the fifth to give the Mariners a commanding 9-1 lead. Although he was the DH on Tuesday, Montes should see plenty of reps in right field given Taylor Ward's recent struggles at the plate. |

Bryan Woo Bryan Woo Overcomes early homer for 10th win
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 10:49 PM
Woo (10-9) earned the win against the Red Sox on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out seven across six innings.
Analysis: Mickey Gasper hit a solo homer in the first inning, but Woo settled in to keep the Red Sox off the board for the rest of his outing. It was the third time in eight starts that Woo struck out at least seven batters, and he did enough to come away with his 14th quality start of the season, which is tied for sixth-most in the American League. He'll take a 4.25 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 148.1 innings into his next start, which is lined up for this weekend at home against the Athletics. |

Taylor Ward Taylor Ward Exiting starting nine
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 2:29 PM
Ward is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Boston.
Analysis: Ward has been dreadful since being acquired by the Mariners at the trade deadline, slashing .121/.227/.152 across 19 contests. As a result, he might find himself on the short side of a platoon moving forward. Lazaro Montes has been called up and is slotted in at designated hitter for Seattle on Tuesday. |

Connor Joe Connor Joe DFA'd by Seattle
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 1:43 PM
The Mariners designated Joe for assignment Tuesday.
Analysis: Joe was up in the majors for much of April and May and was briefly up with the Mariners in June, but he never found his footing at the plate with a .597 OPS in 45 plate appearances. The 34-year-old has an underwhelming .262/.362/.419 slash line with eight homers and six steals in 73 games for Tacoma in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. |

Nolan Kingham Nolan Kingham Scrubbed from 40-man roster
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 1:31 PM
The Mariners designated Kingham for assignment Tuesday.
Analysis: Space on the 40-man roster was needed as the Mariners announced their September call-ups. Kingham was a waiver claim in August and has posted a 6.34 ERA and 61:25 K:BB over 61 innings at the Triple-A level in 2026. |

Hoby Milner Hoby Milner Added to Seattle roster
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 1:29 PM
The Mariners signed Milner to a minor-league contract Monday and selected his contract from Triple-A Tacoma.
Analysis: Milner was released by the Cubs on Sunday but has quickly landed on his feet. The southpaw reliever hasn't pitched in the majors since undergoing an appendectomy in late June, but he's healthy now and will give manager Dan Wilson another lefty reliever. Milner has logged a 3.53 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and an 18:9 K:BB over 35.2 innings in the big leagues this season. |

Officially promoted to big leagues
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 1:26 PM
The Mariners selected Montes's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Analysis: The Mariners will give Montes a look in September as they try to make up ground in the American League Wild Card race. Montes has popped 38 home runs while collecting a .928 OPS between Double-A Arkansas and Tacoma this season, though it's also come with a 30.6 percent strikeout rate. The 21-year-old slugger should see regular playing time against righties, which would likely eat into the opportunities of the struggling Taylor Ward (.378 OPS with Seattle). Montes is starting at designated hitter and batting seventh Tuesday in Boston in his major-league debut. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Up to 20 homers
Tue, Sep 1, 2026, 6:19 AM
Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 9-8 loss to the Red Sox.
Analysis: Raleigh extended Seattle's lead to 8-5 in the seventh inning with his 20th homer of the year, a 355-foot shot off Erik Miller. Raleigh's now gone deep seven times in his last 10 games while going 11-for-34 (.324) with a 1.396 OPS in that span. Despite the hot stretch, Raleigh is still slashing just .171/.287/.359 with 54 RBI and 35 runs scored across 432 plate appearances this season. |

Andres Munoz Andres Munoz Blows another save Monday
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 10:56 PM
Munoz blew the save Monday against Boston, allowing one run on hit and no walks in 1.1 innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: It was a rare instance where Munoz was tasked with recording more than three outs, and he took his fourth blown save in his last 10 outings and ninth of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander endured a rough month of August, posting a 5.56 ERA with five saves in nine chances covering 11 appearances, so he's certainly testing Seattle's trust with him in its closer role. |

Randy Arozarena Randy Arozarena Monster performance in Boston
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 10:45 PM
Arozarena went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two additional runs scored in Monday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to Boston.
Analysis: The 31-year-old outfielder racked up a season-high-tying four RBI on Monday, tallying his second four-hit attack of 2026. Arozarena has remained a fantasy stalwart this season, slashing .274/.371/.465 with 21 big flies, 62 RBI, 20 stolen bases and 88 runs scored over 561 plate appearances for his sixth straight 20-homer, 20-steal campaign. |

George Kirby George Kirby Uneven results continue
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 10:39 PM
Kirby took a no-decision against the Red Sox on Monday, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks in five innings. He struck out two.
Analysis: The ball was flying around Fenway Park on Monday early and often, and Kirby was tagged for four extra-base hits on the evening. The right-hander has been a hit-or-miss fantasy option since coming back from the All-Star break, giving up at least five runs in four of his last eight outings while yielding less than two in the other half. He'll be aiming for some consistency in a favorable home matchup with the Athletics this weekend, carrying a 4.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 128:36 K:BB over 152.2 innings. |

Brock Rodden Brock Rodden Heading to bench Monday
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 5:05 PM
Rodden is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.
Analysis: Weston Wilson will enter the starting nine at third base in place of Rodden. The switch-hitting infielder had been included in the lineup in each of the Mariners' last six games, going 0-for-16 with a 2:4 BB:K during that stretch. |

Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Re-entering Mariners' rotation
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 3:20 PM
Miller will rejoin the Mariners' rotation following the injury to Emerson Hancock (adductor), Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Miller did not make any relief appearances after manager Dan Wilson announced last week that the righty would be demoted to the bullpen, and he's now re-entering the rotation. The right-hander has posted a 7.18 ERA and 27:16 K:BB across 36.1 frames since the All-Star break. Miller will start Wednesday's game in Boston. |

Colt Emerson Colt Emerson Shifted to 60-day injured list
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 3:15 PM
The Mariners transferred Emerson (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
Analysis: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the return of Cooper Criswell from the 60-day IL. Emerson underwent season-ending surgery last week to repair a tendon in his left wrist. |

Nick Davila Nick Davila Out with sprained shoulder
Mon, Aug 31, 2026, 3:12 PM
The Mariners placed Davila on the 15-day injured list Monday with a right SC joint sprain in his shoulder.
Analysis: Davila had just been recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, and he hurt himself in an appearance later that day in the Mariners' 7-0 loss to the Blue Jays. Though he will be eligible for activation in mid-September, the nature of the injury points to Davila being out longer than that, possibly for the rest of the season. |
