Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Gives up three runs in return
Sat, May 31, 2025, 11:25 PM
Miller allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two over four innings in a no-decision Saturday versus the Twins.
Analysis: Miller missed nearly three weeks due to right elbow inflammation, and he returned without a rehab assignment. That likely led to a pitch count, as he was pulled after 71 pitches (45 strikes), though he also struggled a bit, giving up all three runs in the second inning. Miller is now at a 5.36 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 37:22 K:BB through 43.2 innings over nine starts this season. The 26-year-old is projected to make his next start on the road versus the Angels. |

Trent Thornton Trent Thornton Starts rehab assignment
Sat, May 31, 2025, 11:02 PM
Thornton (abdomen) started a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Thornton, who is recovering from appendicitis, tossed 16 pitches and fanned two in a scoreless inning Friday. The 31-year-old veteran right-hander has been on the injured list since May 9, but he's now tracking toward a return to Seattle's bullpen sometime around the first or second week of June. Thornton has a 5.87 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB over 15.1 innings this season, and he'll likely work as a middle reliever once he rejoins the Mariners. |

The Mariners designated Klein for assignment Saturday.
Analysis: The move makes room on the 40-man roster to allow the Mariners to select Cole Young's contract from Triple-A Tacoma. Klein has spent the entire season in Triple-A and has struggled with a 7.40 ERA, 2.03 WHIP, three saves and a 32:18 K:BB across 20.2 innings. |

Casey Legumina Casey Legumina Sent down to Triple-A
Sat, May 31, 2025, 2:36 PM
The Mariners optioned Legumina to Triple-A Tacoma following Friday's game against the Twins.
Analysis: Legumina allowed just five runs (three earned) over his first 18 major-league outings with the Mariners. However, he has yielded eight runs (seven earned) over his last two appearances out of the bullpen, which has inflated his ERA and WHIP to 4.58 and 1.53, respectively, across 19.2 innings. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Bryce Miller (elbow), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Saturday. |

Leo Rivas Leo Rivas Optioned to Triple-A
Sat, May 31, 2025, 2:31 PM
The Mariners optioned Rivas to Triple-A Tacoma following Friday's game against the Twins.
Analysis: The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Cole Young, whose contract was selected by the Mariners from Tacoma. Rivas has served in a utility role for Seattle after being recalled by the big club in early April, and he is slashing .283/.411/.300 with four steals and four RBI in 73 major-league plate appearances this season. Rivas should receive a call back up to the majors this season should the Mariners need infield depth. |

Sat, May 31, 2025, 2:26 PM
The Mariners reinstated Miller (elbow) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Twins on Saturday.
Analysis: Miller landed on the 15-day injured list May 12 due to right elbow inflammation, but he progressed enough in his recovery to avoid a rehab assignment and will retake the mound for the Mariners on Saturday. The 26-year-old right-hander gave up 11 earned runs in nine innings across two starts before landing on the IL. In the six prior starts, Miller posted a 3.52 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 31:19 K:BB across 30.2 innings. |

Sat, May 31, 2025, 2:19 PM
Moore is not in Seattle's starting lineup against Minnesota on Saturday.
Analysis: Moore will be out of the Mariners' lineup for the third time in four games, and the veteran infielder could be losing his grasp on the starting spot at the keystone after Cole Young was promoted from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. Moore is slashing .264/.322/.481 with eight steals, eight home runs an 16 RBI across 143 plate appearances this season. |

Jorge Polanco Jorge Polanco Sitting Saturday
Sat, May 31, 2025, 2:17 PM
Polanco is not in the Mariners' starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday.
Analysis: Polanco snapped a seven-game hitless streak Friday when he went 1-for-5 with a run scored. He'll begin Saturday's game in the dugout while Cal Raleigh serves as the designated hitter and Mitch Garver starts behind home plate. |

Fri, May 30, 2025, 4:29 PM

Analysis: Moore will begin the Mariners' weekend series in the dugout while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at second base and bats eighth. Moore has slashed .241/.297/.397 with three steals, two home runs and seven RBI over 64 plate appearances since returning from the 10-day injured list in early May. |

Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Set to return Saturday
Fri, May 30, 2025, 3:09 AM
Miller (elbow) is expected to make his return from the injured list to start Saturday's game against the Twins, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
Analysis: After spending about two weeks recovering from right elbow inflammation, Miller will avoid a rehab assignment and instead jump right back into Seattle's rotation. It's unclear if the 26-year-old right-hander will have any workload limitations Saturday, but he'll square off with a Minnesota offense that's struggled lately as he tries to improve his 5.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 35:21 K:BB on the season. Miller will be taking the rotation spot of Logan Evans, who was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday. |

Thu, May 29, 2025, 9:53 PM
Gilbert (elbow) threw 1.2 innings, allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks while striking out three with Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: This marked Gilbert's first rehab appearance, and the results were mixed. His surface stats were poor, but he managed to throw 45 pitches while also hitting 96.8 mph with his fastball. He'll likely need at least one more rehab appearance before being activated. |

Blas Castano Blas Castano Demoted to Triple-A
Thu, May 29, 2025, 4:41 PM
The Mariners optioned Castano to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
Analysis: Castano joined the Mariners' bullpen after being called up May 23 and made his MLB debut May 28. It was the lone appearance he made as he allowed three earned runs on three hits and two walks across three innings of relief. As part of a corresponding move Thursday, Casey Lawrence was selected from Triple-A Tacoma |

Casey Lawrence Casey Lawrence Back to big leagues
Thu, May 29, 2025, 4:34 PM
The Mariners selected Lawrence from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
Analysis: Lawrence was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on May 23 after losing his roster spot two days prior. He did not make any appearances for Tacoma after being sent down as his last appearance was May 20 for the Mariners against the White Sox. In that outing, the 37-year-old tossed five innings in which he allowed an earned run on six hits. In other moves Thursday, Seattle optioned Blas Castano to Triple-A Tacoma and designated Blake Hunt for assignment. |

George Kirby George Kirby Falters again Wednesday
Thu, May 29, 2025, 2:04 AM
Kirby (0-2) took the loss against Washington on Wednesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over five innings.
Analysis: Kirby was hit hard in the outing -- four of the Nationals' seven hits against him went for extra bases, and three of those left the yard. The right-hander did go a little deeper with five innings after completing just 3.2 frames against Houston in his season debut May 22, but he's struggled in both outings and has now given up 11 runs through 8.2 innings this season. It's understandable that Kirby has some rust after missing nearly the first two months of the season with a shoulder injury, but his return to action has been frustrating for fantasy managers who held onto the hurler throughout his time on the IL. Kirby at least has a promising matchup lined up for him next, as he's tentatively scheduled to face the Orioles, who have scored the seventh-fewest runs in MLB so far this season. |

Logan Evans Logan Evans Dispatched to Triple-A
Wed, May 28, 2025, 5:10 PM
The Mariners optioned Evans to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Analysis: Evans turned in a 2.83 ERA and 1.26 WHIP across 35 innings during his first six starts in a big-league uniform, though his 4.72 FIP indicates his performance hasn't been quite as impressive as his surface stats may suggest. He'll now head back to Triple-A to make room on the active roster for Jackson Kowar (elbow), who returned from the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. |

Jackson Kowar Jackson Kowar Reinstated from IL
Wed, May 28, 2025, 5:09 PM
The Mariners reinstated Kowar (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: Kowar will return to the majors after missing the entire 2024 season following Tommy John surgery last March. The 28-year-old right hander posted a 2.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across seven innings during his rehab assignment and did not yield a run in each of his last three outings. Kowar will be available to make his 2025 debut out of the Mariners' bullpen against the Nationals on Wednesday. Logan Evans was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move. |

Dylan Moore Dylan Moore Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, May 28, 2025, 4:09 PM
Moore isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Analysis: Moore will get a day to rest after going 3-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored during Tuesday's contest. His absence will allow Miles Mastrobuoni to start at second base and at eighth. |

Victor Robles Victor Robles May return in September
Tue, May 27, 2025, 5:21 PM
Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Tuesday that Robles (shoulder) may not return until September, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Robles had a scan on his shoulder that revealed it is healing properly. His timeline will entail six weeks of rest, six weeks of strengthening and the possibility of resuming baseball activities in July. While the righty will start strengthening his shoulder soon, his expected return to the major league roster may not come until September. |

Tue, May 27, 2025, 5:20 PM
The Mariners are targeting next week for Raley (oblique) to begin a rehab assignment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Raley landed on the 10-day injured list April 30 due to a right oblique strain. He's been ramping up his baseball activities and is close to being cleared to start a rehab assignment. Raley was slashing .206/.345/.324 with two steals, two home runs and eight RBI over 84 plate appearances prior to his injury. |

Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Weekend return possible
Tue, May 27, 2025, 5:16 PM
Bryce Miller (elbow) said he "feel[s] good" after Monday's bullpen session and could rejoin the Mariners' starting rotation as soon as this weekend against the Twins, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: The organization hasn't officially decided the next step in Miller's rehab program, but he may not require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to the big-league rotation. The right-hander landed on the shelf May 14 due to elbow inflammation, which is an issue he had been battling throughout the season. In an attempt to curb further issues, Miller is expected to operate on a six-day pitching schedule moving forward. |
