George Kirby George Kirby Takes hard-luck loss
Wed, Jul 8, 2026, 8:43 PM
Kirby (7-8) took the loss Wednesday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on eight hits across six innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis: It was another strong outing from Kirby, who's now held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last three outings, though he'd ultimately come away with the loss as Seattle failed to generate any run support in a 3-0 defeat. Kirby's turned in five straight quality starts, allowing 11 earned runs across 32 innings in that span. The right-hander will head into the All-Star break with a 3.76 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 98:24 K:BB across 18 starts (110 innings) this year. |

Brendan Donovan Brendan Donovan Closing in on rehab assignment
Wed, Jul 8, 2026, 3:20 PM
Donovan (groin) will work out Wednesday for a second straight day at the Mariners' spring training complex before starting a rehab assignment later this week if all goes well, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Previous reports suggested Donovan would begin playing in rehab games in the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday. That's been pushed back a couple days, but Donovan should still have a good chance to be activated immediately after the All-Star break. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since mid-May with a left groin strain. |

Tue, Jul 7, 2026, 9:43 PM
Young went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during the Mariners' 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.
Analysis: Young cut the Mariners' deficit to 4-2 in the fifth inning after taking Max Meyer deep for a solo home run to right field. Young is up to 10 home runs on the season and has gone 11-for-35 (.314) with three home runs, five RBI and eight runs scored over his last 10 games. |

Bryan Woo Bryan Woo Yields nine hits in no-decision
Tue, Jul 7, 2026, 9:40 PM
Woo did not factor into Tuesday's decision against the Marlins, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out five across five innings.
Analysis: The nine hits Woo allowed to Miami matched a season high that he set twice prior to Monday's outing. He was on the hook for the loss before his Mariners teammates came through with a three-run eighth inning. Woo has yielded at least three earned runs in five of his last eight outings, and he now sits at a 4.23 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 102:20 K:BB across 104.1 innings this season. Woo's next outing figures to be after the All-Star break, seeing as the Mariners are deploying a six-man rotation. |

Dominic Canzone Dominic Canzone Shedding platoon role
Tue, Jul 7, 2026, 12:33 PM
Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto indicated Tuesday that Canzone will have a full-time spot in the middle of the lineup going forward, regardless of the handedness of the opposing starting pitcher, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Canzone has only four starts against left-handed pitching this season, but all four of those games have come in the past month. The 28-year-old has just 29 plate appearances versus southpaws this year, but his .994 OPS against them is apparently enough for Seattle to give him a chance as a true everyday player. Canzone had an .839 OPS in 82 regular-season games as a platoon outfielder in 2025, and he appears firmly on his way to a true breakout season with a .273/.349/.551 slash line and career-high 14 homers through 232 plate appearances thus far in 2026. |

Promoted to Triple-A
Mon, Jul 6, 2026, 8:40 AM
The Mariners promoted Arroyo from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kremer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Arroyo earned a promotion to the Mariners' top minor-league affiliate after slashing .287/.364/.456 with 10 home runs and 13 stolen bases across 65 games at Arkansas. The 21-year-old has split time between second base and left field this season, two positions that are occupied by Cole Young and Randy Arozarena, respectively, in the majors. Arroyo is now one step away from his debut, but it might take an injury for him to be summoned to the big leagues in 2026. |

Moving up to Triple-A
Mon, Jul 6, 2026, 8:32 AM
The Mariners promoted Montes from Double-A Arkansas to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Montes slashed .234/.369/.550 with 25 home runs at Arkansas, which included a 1.199 OPS in June. Contact remains an issue, as the hulking slugger has struck out at a 30.4 percent clip in 2026, but he has some of the best power of any minor-league hitter and has a chance to reach the majors before the end of this season. |

Mitch Garver Mitch Garver Clubs two-run homer in win
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 8:17 PM
Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Garver provided some offense in what was largely a pitcher's duel, driving a two-run homer to left field off Trey Yesavage in the fourth inning. Since Cal Raleigh returned from the injured list June 16, Garver has seen limited playing time but drew the start behind the plate Sunday with Raleigh serving as the designated hitter. On the year, Garver is hitting .194/.325/.330 with four homers, 14 RBI and 16 runs scored across 123 plate appearances. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Dazzles in sixth win
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 7:58 PM
Hancock (6-4) earned the win Sunday, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings against Toronto. He struck out five.
Analysis: Hancock navigated the Toronto lineup with little resistance, as he didn't allow a hit after the second inning as part of a seven-inning shutout performance. After surrendering 11 runs across 9.1 innings in his previous two starts, the right-hander has gotten back into a rhythm by allowing just one run over 12.2 innings in his past two outings. Hancock will take a 3.23 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 92:24 K:BB across 97.2 innings (17 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next Sunday against Tampa Bay if Seattle continues to operate with a standard six-man rotation, though a piggyback appearance remains a possibility. |

Dominic Canzone Dominic Canzone Out of Sunday's lineup
Sun, Jul 5, 2026, 3:17 PM
Canzone is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Canzone started the previous three games but will hit the bench Sunday after going 3-for-11 with two walks, a homer, three RBI and two total runs during that span. Cal Raleigh will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Mitch Garver starts behind the plate in the series finale. |

Logan Gilbert Logan Gilbert Dominant in seventh win
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:29 PM
Gilbert (7-5) earned the win against the Blue Jays on Saturday, allowing one hit and no walks while striking out seven over 7.1 scoreless innings.
Analysis: Gilbert allowed a softly hit single in the fifth inning but was otherwise untouchable, generating a whopping 18 swinging strikes on 91 pitches. It marked the deepest the 29-year-old has worked into a game this season, and he's now logged four quality starts in his past five outings. He owns a 3.19 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 114:22 K:BB across 107.1 innings this season and lines up for a road matchup with the Rays next weekend in his final start before the All-Star break. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Homers in win
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:19 PM
Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Raleigh smacked a three-run shot in the bottom of the sixth inning to put the Mariners in double digits. It was the 29-year-old's first hit in three July contests, and he's now batting just .161 with two homers and nine RBI in 17 games since returning from the injured list June 16. On the year, he's slashing a lowly .161/.264/.309 with nine homers, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored and two steals across 250 plate appearances. |

Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:12 PM
Canzone went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, three RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Canzone launched a two-run shot in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the sixth. While the 28-year-old has started only eight of the Mariners' past 12 games, he's gone deep three times during that span. On the year, he's slashing .273/.349/.551 with 14 homers, 37 RBI, 32 runs scored and one steal across 232 plate appearances. |

Randy Arozarena Randy Arozarena Monster performance in rout
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 8:04 PM
Arozarena went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 11-0 win over the Blue Jays.
Analysis: Arozarena fell a triple shy of the cycle, highlighted by a grand slam in the bottom of the second inning. Since returning from the injured list June 23, the 31-year-old has gone 10-for-39 with five extra-base hits, eight RBI and seven runs scored across 11 contests. Fresh off earning his third career All-Star nod, he's slashing .287/.376/.453 with nine homers, 41 RBI, 54 runs scored and 19 steals across 348 plate appearances this season. |

Brendan Donovan Brendan Donovan Cleared for rehab assignment
Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 1:51 PM
Donovan (groin) will embark on a rehab assignment Tuesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Donovan is ready to take the next step in his recovery from a left groin strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list in mid-May. Given the length of his absence, the veteran infielder seems unlikely to return to the majors until after the All-Star break. |

Analysis: For a second straight week, the duo of Hancock and Gilbert will get their own traditional starts. Hancock looked good in his last outing this past Sunday against the Guardians, allowing one run on five hits and three walks while striking out six across 5.2 innings in a no-decision. The 27-year-old right-hander sports a 3.47 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 87:22 K:BB across 90.2 innings this season. |

Sat, Jul 4, 2026, 1:46 PM
Emerson Hancock will no longer piggyback Gilbert for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Gilbert and Hancock will make their own traditional starts this weekend, with the latter taking the mound for Sunday's series finale. Gilbert took the loss in his last outing against the Guardians on June 27, when he allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out seven across seven frames. He has a 3.42 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 107:22 K:BB across 100 innings this season. |

Victor Robles Victor Robles In Friday's lineup
Fri, Jul 3, 2026, 5:56 PM
Robles (forearm) will start in center field and bat eighth against the Blue Jays on Friday.
Analysis: Robles was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels after taking a pitch to his right forearm. X-rays came back negative, and the veteran outfielder has been cleared for Friday's game. Robles should see an uptick in playing time for at least the next week after the Mariners placed Julio Rodriguez (concussion) on the 7-day injured list. |
