Leo Rivas Leo Rivas Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 4:18 PM
Rivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.
Analysis: The switch-hitting Rivas will take a seat for the fourth time in five games, with three of those absences coming against left-handed pitchers. The Mariners seem to be prioritizing Rivas ahead of Cole Young at second base of late, but Jorge Polanco will remain a factor at the position on days in which he's not serving as a designated hitter. |

Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 7:28 AM
Canzone went 5-for-5 with three homers and four RBI in Tuesday's 12-5 victory over the Royals.
Analysis: Canzone turned in a career night Tuesday, recording a hit in every at-bat and notching the first three-homer game of his career. The outfielder is heating up at the perfect time, going 8-for-10 with a double, three homers and seven RBI over his last two contests. Overall, he's been highly productive when called upon in 2025, carrying an .854 OPS across 72 big-league appearances. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Makes history with pair of homers
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 7:21 AM
Raleigh went 3-for-5 with a double, two homers, three RBI and an additional run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Royals.
Analysis: Raleigh spearheaded Tuesday's offensive surge, launching his 55th and 56th homers of the season. The first, a solo shot in the third inning, moved him past Mickey Mantle for the most home runs in a single season by a switch hitter, while the second, a two-run blast in the fourth, tied Ken Griffey Jr. for the Mariners' single-season record. The catcher is heating up at the right time, carrying a 1.124 OPS with three doubles, six homers and 11 RBI across 14 September games as Seattle pushes for the playoffs. |

Logan Gilbert Logan Gilbert Earns fifth win
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 7:11 AM
Gilbert (5-6) earned the win Tuesday, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk over 5.2 innings against the Royals. He struck out five.
Analysis: Gilbert was handed plenty of run support from the Mariners' offense and took advantage by attacking the zone to secure the win. After being tagged for six runs in two innings against the Phillies on Aug. 18, the right-hander has largely settled back in, posting a 2.54 ERA and 0.99 WHIP with a 12.4 K/9 across 28.1 innings over his last five starts. |

Logan Evans Logan Evans Begins rehab assignment
Tue, Sep 16, 2025, 9:55 PM
Evans (elbow) walked one and struck out one in a scoreless first inning during his first rehab outing for Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Analysis: Evans threw just 11 of his 22 pitches for strikes, so he wasn't particularly sharp in his first game action in over a month. The right-hander will likely require a handful of appearances in the minor leagues before the Mariners consider reinstating him from the injured list. With the Seattle rotation at full strength, Evans will likely be an option for the bullpen once he's fully recovered from right elbow inflammation. |

Tue, Sep 16, 2025, 3:45 PM
Rivas is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Kansas City.
Analysis: Rivas had started the last two games and four of the last five against right-handed pitching at second base, but he'll begin Tuesday's series opener versus righty Michael Wacha on the bench. Jorge Polanco is at second base and Dominic Canzone is in the designated hitter slot for the Mariners. |

Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels.
Analysis: Rodriguez knocked in a run with a two-bagger in both the third and fourth innings. He did enough early on to earn some rest in the blowout win, with Victor Robles entering as a pinch hitter in the fifth. Rodriguez has gone 14-for-37 (.378) with nine RBI, seven extra-base hits and three steals over his last nine games. For the season, he's gone 27-for-33 on steals while adding a .269/.321/.478 slash line, 30 home runs, 91 RBI, 99 runs scored, 30 doubles and four triples across 149 contests. |

Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 6:14 PM
Canzone went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels.
Analysis: Canzone has hit when he's had the opportunity, going 6-for-18 (.333) over nine games in September. He's often been in a bench role as he competes with Victor Robles and Luke Raley for time in right field. Canzone is at a .287/.349/.435 slash line with seven home runs, 24 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles and two stolen bases over 232 plate appearances this season. |

Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 6:12 PM
Polanco went 3-for-5 with three doubles and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-2 win over the Angels.
Analysis: While Polanco didn't knock in any runs himself, he was a key part of the Mariners' offense in this romp. He's hit safely in 12 straight games, going 18-for-43 (.419) with two home runs, 11 doubles and 10 RBI in that span to help get the Mariners' offense on track after a lull earlier in the month. Polanco is up to a .267/.328/.497 slash line with 24 homers, 28 doubles, 72 RBI, 59 runs scored and six stolen bases across 128 games this season. |

Analysis: Kirby had allowed 11 runs (10 earned) over six innings across his first two starts of September. He tied his career high for strikeouts in a game with this dominant performance.

Overall, he's at a 4.46 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 120:28 K:BB through 115 innings across 21 starts. His next start is projected to be on the road versus Houston. |

Andres Munoz Andres Munoz Locks down 33rd save
Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 6:49 AM
Munoz picked up the save in Monday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning.
Analysis: The hard-throwing righty made quick work of St. Louis, issuing only a one-out walk to Ivan Herrera before striking out Alec Burleson and Nolan Gorman to secure his 33rd save of the season. It was Munoz's first outing since Aug. 31, as Seattle's schedule since then featured a four-game losing skid followed by back-to-back blowout wins over Atlanta that didn't require his services. |

Bryan Woo Bryan Woo Earns 13th win
Tue, Sep 9, 2025, 6:37 AM
Woo (13-7) earned the win Monday, allowing two runs on three hits and no walks over six innings in a 4-2 victory over St. Louis. He struck out nine.
Analysis: Woo delivered six strong innings Monday, halting a brief two-start stretch of shorter outings after previously going six-plus in each of his first 25 starts. The right-hander has been one of MLB's most reliable arms this season, compiling a 3.02 ERA and 0.95 WHIP across 175.2 innings in 28 starts. While not overpowering with strikeouts (9.1 K/9), his nine punchouts Monday tied a season high, and his elite command (1.7 BB/9) continues to fuel his consistency. |

Leo Rivas Leo Rivas Poaching starts from Cole Young
Mon, Sep 8, 2025, 7:44 PM
Rivas will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma when the Mariners' active roster expanded from 26 to 28 men, Rivas has gone 3-for-10 with a pair of extra-base hits and two walks. Though the sample has been small, Rivas' performance appears to have at least temporarily allowed him to overtake Cole Young as Seattle's preferred option at the keystone. The switch-hitting Rivas will be included in the starting nine for the third time in four games, including a second straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Miles Mikolas). |
