Set to be called up Monday
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 8:09 PM
Montes is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Analysis: Montes will make the leap to the major-league roster after batting .249 with 38 home runs, 96 RBI, 99 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 453 at-bats in 123 games with Double-A Arkansas and Triple-A Tacoma so far this season. The 21-year-old has started in right field in 115 of the contests that he's appeared in this year, and the Mariners could elect to shift Dominic Canzone to designated hitter to make room for Montes in the lineup moving forward. |

Logan Gilbert Logan Gilbert Settles in after shaky first inning
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 5:24 PM
Gilbert (11-8) took the loss against the Blue Jays on Sunday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out four.
Analysis: Toronto got off to a fast start with a two-run first inning, but Gilbert was able to limit the damage the rest of the way. The workhorse right-hander has been as steady as any starting pitcher this season, working at least five innings in all but one of his 27 starts while giving up more than three runs on just five occasions. Gilbert is set to bring a 3.42 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 166:40 K:BB over 160.1 innings into a soft home matchup versus the division-rival Athletics. |

Nick Davila Nick Davila Brought up to Seattle
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 12:13 PM
The Mariners recalled Davila from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Analysis: After recently being optioned Aug. 21, Davila will rejoin the big-league club as they wrap up a pivotal three-game set in Toronto. The 27-year-old has appeared in 23 games with the big-league club this season, registering a 4.10 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 13:11 K:BB over 26.1 innings. Seattle sent Emerson Hancock (groin) to the 15-day injured list, creating space for Davila on the active roster. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Transferred to 15-day IL
Sun, Aug 30, 2026, 12:08 PM
Seattle placed Hancock (groin) on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a left adductor strain, retroactive to Aug. 29.
Analysis: Hancock felt something off in his left leg early on in his most recent start Friday against Toronto. The 27-year-old went on to take the loss after allowing five runs over five innings. The right-hander will miss a minimum of 15 days and a couple of starts for Seattle. The Mariners recalled Nick Davila from Triple-A Tacoma to fill in for Hancock on the 26-man roster. |

Kade Anderson Kade Anderson Works into fifth frame in Toronto
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 7:08 PM
Anderson allowed two runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three across 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Saturday.
Analysis: Anderson kept the Blue Jays off the board through the first four innings of Saturday's start. He was brought back out for the fifth but was pulled after allowing two men on base, both of whom came home to score later in the frame. Anderson tossed 85 pitches (54 strikes) while generating eight whiffs against Toronto, and he'll likely stay around that 80-pitch limit over the final stretch of the regular season. Across his first two major-league outings, the 22-year-old southpaw has allowed five runs on eight hits and five walks while striking out eight over 10 frames. Anderson is lined up to take on the Athletics at home next week. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Goes deep in Toronto
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 7:01 PM
Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run and an additional run scored during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Raleigh put the Mariners on the board early with a solo homer in the second inning before coming home to score in the fourth on a two-run single by Taylor Ward. Raleigh has struggled at the plate for most of the season but has been heating up in August. Over his last 12 games, Raleigh has gone 10-for-33 (.303) with seven home runs, 10 RBI and eight runs scored. |

Kade Anderson Kade Anderson Facing pitch limit around 80
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 1:34 PM
Anderson will be operating on a pitch limit of around 80 again Saturday against the Blue Jays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: The 22-year-old left-hander threw 81 pitches in his major-league debut last weekend, completing 5.2 innings in a no-decision at home against the Cubs. Anderson and the M's are on the road in Toronto for his second big-league outing Saturday, and it doesn't sound like the team will completely take the reins off the top prospect just yet as he acclimates to the highest level of professional baseball. It's possible that some restrictions will remain in place over the rest of the campaign. |

Matt Brash Matt Brash Completes bullpen session Saturday
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 1:24 PM
Brash (lat) threw a bullpen session Saturday and is scheduled to throw another one in Boston early next week, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Brash threw 15-to-20 pitches in his latest mound session as he continues his recovery from a right lat strain. The hard-throwing setup man has missed extended time and there has been no indication that he has faced live hitters. With that, a return Tuesday when rosters expand seems unlikely. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Moving around well Saturday
Sat, Aug 29, 2026, 12:19 PM
Hancock (groin) was moving around well Saturday, per Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com.
Analysis: Hancock felt something in his left leg as he went to make a tag in the first inning of Friday's game, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports. The right-hander gutted it out and completed five innings in a loss, at least saving the bullpen some extra stress. "If you feel like you can go out there and compete and throw the ball, then that's what I wanted to do," Hancock added after the game. While Saturday's update is encouraging, the Mariners will give it another day or two before determining Hancock's availability for his next start. |

Dominic Canzone Dominic Canzone Takes Cease deep in Toronto
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 9:40 PM
Canzone went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during the Mariners' 8-1 loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.
Analysis: Canzone got the Mariners on the board early with a solo homer off Dylan Cease in the first inning, in what turned out to be Seattle's lone run in Friday's loss. It was Canzone's first homer since Aug. 12 and officially gave him the first 20-homer campaign of his major-league career. He has an .818 OPS with two steals, 59 RBI and 42 extra-base hits over 411 plate appearances in 2026. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Gives up five runs in Friday's loss
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 9:36 PM
Hancock (7-8) took the loss against Toronto on Friday, allowing five runs on eight hits while striking out one batter over five innings. He did not issue a walk.
Analysis: Hancock put the Mariners in an early hole after giving up three runs in the first inning. He appeared to settle in thereafter, getting through the next three frames unscathed before giving up solo home runs to George Springer and Nathan Lukes in the fifth. Hancock has allowed two homers in back-to-back games, and the five earned runs are his most in a start since June 20 against the Red Sox. He'll take a 3.57 ERA and 1.14 WHIP over 138.2 innings into his next start, which is lined up for next week against Boston at Fenway Park. |

Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Demoted to bullpen
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 4:10 PM
Mariners manager Dan Wilson said Friday that Miller is being moved to the bullpen, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: The club had been operating with a six-man rotation since the promotion of top prospect Kade Anderson but will revert to a typical five-man setup. Miller collected a 2.18 ERA and 65:9 K:BB over 57.2 innings in the first half, but he's cratered in the second half with a 7.18 ERA and 27:16 K:BB across 36.1 frames. In Miller's last four outings, the Mariners were outscored 62-7. Wilson noted Friday that Miller's demotion is "not a permanent thing," and that the team still views the hurler as a starter long-term. |

Brendan Donovan Brendan Donovan On road trip with Mariners
Fri, Aug 28, 2026, 3:28 PM
Donovan (concussion) traveled with the Mariners to Toronto as his team begins a road trip, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Donovan reported improvement with his concussion symptoms earlier this week, and him being cleared to travel with the club is a good sign. However, manager Dan Wilson said that the 29-year-old won't be ready to return when eligible Saturday, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times. He's been limited to 39 games this season due to injuries, but he's been fairly productive when on the field with a .277/.371/.409 slash line. |

Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Was available out of bullpen Wednesday
Thu, Aug 27, 2026, 11:40 AM
Miller was available to pitch out of the bullpen but did not appear in Wednesday's loss to the Phillies, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Wednesday's starter, Bryan Woo, was making the start after missing his previous turn with shoulder soreness, so the Mariners wanted to have Miller available as protection on his bullpen day, if needed. However, according to Jude, while no one has approached Miller about a permanent move to the bullpen, it's something that's being considered. Seattle is currently operating with a six-man rotation following the promotion of Kade Anderson, but shifting Miller to relief and reverting to a five-man setup is possible. After posting a 2.18 ERA and 65:9 K:BB over 57.2 innings in the first half, Miller has logged a 7.18 ERA and 27:16 K:BB across 36.1 second-half frames. His next turn comes up Sunday in Toronto, but Seattle has yet to announce its probable pitchers for this weekend. |

Bryan Woo Bryan Woo Stumbles vs. Phillies
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 6:22 PM
Woo (9-9) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing six runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out five.
Analysis: Woo was limited to 76 pitches Wednesday after missing his last start due to shoulder soreness, though he may have gotten an early hook regardless -- the Phillies tagged Woo for six runs over the first two innings, highlighted by a pair of home runs. In his previous three starts, Woo had given up just two runs across 18 innings while posting a 0.67 WHIP. His ERA now sits at 4.36 on the season with a 1.10 WHIP and 142:30 K:BB over 25 starts (142.1 innings). Woo will look to bounce back his next time out, tentatively lined up for next week in Boston. |

Josh Naylor Josh Naylor Heading to bench against lefty
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 1:28 PM
Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.
Analysis: Naylor will hit the bench for the first time since Aug. 11, with the left-handed-hitting first baseman getting the afternoon off while the Phillies send a southpaw (Jesus Luzardo) to the bump. Patrick Wisdom will step in at first base in place of Naylor, who has been sizzling at the plate lately with a .367/.400/.500 slash line, two home runs, three steals, seven RBI and six runs over his past 15 games. |

Dominic Canzone Dominic Canzone Taking seat against lefty
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 12:44 PM
Canzone is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.
Analysis: The lefty-swinging Canzone has been an everyday player for the Mariners in the second half, but he's getting a day off Wednesday as the Phillies go with southpaw Jesus Luzardo on the bump. Jhonny Pereda enters the lineup at catch, while Cal Raleigh will serve as the designated hitter as Taylor Ward plays right field. |
|
Cole Young Cole Young Rare breather Wednesday
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 12:38 PM
Young is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Phillies.
Analysis: It's only the second day off all season for the left-handed-hitting Young, who will grab a seat as the Phillies send southpaw Jesus Luzardo to the bump. Brock Rodden will slot in at second base in Young's stead. |

Andres Munoz Andres Munoz Collects 24th save Tuesday
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 8:17 AM
Munoz walked two and struck out two over a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia.
Analysis: Munoz made things interesting by issuing a pair of walks while protecting a three-run advantage, but he prevented Philadelphia from capitalizing and closed the game with a strikeout of Bryan De La Cruz. The right-hander converted his 24th save in 32 opportunities, though his 4.28 ERA remains unusually high compared to his previous work as Seattle's closer. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Homers again Tuesday
Wed, Aug 26, 2026, 6:57 AM
Raleigh went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and two walks in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Phillies.
Analysis: Raleigh got the Mariners on the board in the second inning, tying the game 1-1 with a 362-foot shot off Aaron Nola, his 18th homer of the season and fourth in his last two games. Raleigh looks to finally be heating up down the stretch in what's been a brutal campaign overall -- he's batting .348 (8-for-23) with six homers while striking out just five times in his last nine contests. Through 412 plate appearances this year, Raleigh is still slashing just .169/.286/.346 with 52 RBI and 32 runs scored. |
