Victor Robles will cover right field in Ward's stead. |

Cal Raleigh Cal Raleigh Delivers 13th homer in win
Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 2:23 AM
Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston.
Analysis: Raleigh took advantage of Daikin Park's hitter-friendly dimensions by lifting a 327-foot solo homer into the left-field Crawford Boxes in the sixth inning. It marked the catcher's second homer of August, a month in which he's slashing just .114/.250/.250 through 13 contests. It's been a deeply disappointing 2026 for the 29-year-old, as Raleigh has mustered just a .158/.268/.300 slash line with 13 homers, 44 RBI, 27 runs and two stolen bases across 91 games after launching 60 long balls during the 2025 regular season. |

Mon, Aug 17, 2026, 2:11 AM

Analysis: Munoz issued a one-out walk but was otherwise able to stifle the Astros' offense in the ninth inning to secure a road win for the Mariners. It was a much-needed positive outing for the right-hander, who imploded for five runs (four earned) in the 10th inning of Friday's loss. Overall, it's been a down year for Munoz, who owns a 4.37 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 72:18 K:BB across 45.1 innings while converting 22 of 29 save opportunities. |

The right-hander began experiencing right shoulder soreness, and as a result, he was removed from the game after six frames. Manager Dan Wilson described the decision as precautionary, and Woo said the soreness was "nothing he was concerned about."

Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 4:34 PM
Ward (quadriceps) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Astros.

Sun, Aug 16, 2026, 4:29 PM

Analysis: Canzone will take over in right field in the series finale after he went 4-for-9 with a double, an RBI and a run scored over the first two games of the series. Taylor Ward (quadriceps) will be forced to miss a fourth game in a row, so Canzone will draw a start in the outfield. Weston Wilson will handle designated hitter and bat eighth against Houston. |

Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 10:05 PM
Young went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two additional runs scored in Saturday's 10-5 win over Houston.
Analysis: Young collected a season-high four RBI on Saturday in his 10th game of the season with at least three knocks. The second baseman might not hit leadoff as often going forward -- Young slotted into the sixth spot in the batting order Saturday -- as Brendan Donovan is back in the fold for the Mariners. Young is slashing a middling .262/.319/.407 with 15 homers, 15 doubles, 56 RBI and 58 runs scored over 497 plate appearances. |

Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 9:47 PM
Hancock (7-7) earned the win against the Astros on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out eight.
Analysis: It looked like a rough day was brewing, as Houston tagged Hancock for a pair of runs in the first and second innings, but the hurler was dialed in from that point on. The right-hander is continuing to enjoy a breakout campaign, giving up three runs or fewer in eight consecutive starts now. Hancock will bring an excellent 3.30 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 119:32 K:BB over 128 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Cubs in pitcher-friendly Seattle. |

Claimed by M's
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 2:32 PM
The Mariners claimed Watson off waivers from Detroit on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.
Analysis: Watson was DFA'd by the Tigers on Wednesday despite having posted a 3.27 ERA and 1.09 WHIP across 55 innings with the team's Triple-A affiliate. The 29-year-old righty has yet to make his MLB debut, but he could receive an opportunity to pitch for Seattle at some point if he continues to pitch well at Tacoma. |

George Kirby George Kirby Struggles in no-decision
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 7:03 AM
Kirby did not factor into the decision in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning loss to the Astros, allowing five runs on eight hits and three walks with two strikeouts over 4.2 innings.
Analysis: The damage was done early, as Kirby surrendered a solo homer in the first before enduring a four-run second inning. He labored overall, issuing three walks for just the third time this season while generating only seven whiffs on 99 pitches. The 28-year-old has now posted a 4.39 ERA through five second-half outings, though 12 of the 13 runs he's allowed have come in two blow-up starts. He'll take a 3.89 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 114:31 K:BB across 136.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Brewers next week. |

Andres Munoz Andres Munoz Melts down in loss Friday
Sat, Aug 15, 2026, 6:58 AM
Munoz (5-5) blew the save and took the loss in Friday's 10-7 extra-inning loss to the Astros, allowing five runs (four earned) on four hits and no walks with one strikeout while recording two outs in the 10th inning.
Analysis: Munoz was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the 10th inning and imploded with two outs, allowing a game-tying single before surrendering a three-run walk-off homer to Christian Walker. It was a crushing end to what had been a strong run for the 27-year-old, who entered the contest having yielded only two earned runs over his previous 19 appearances dating back to June 16. On the year, he's a disappointing 21-for-28 in save chances to go along with a 4.47 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 70:17 K:BB across 44.1 innings. |

Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 4:16 PM
Brash (lat) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Saturday will mark Brash's first time throwing off a mound since he landed on the injured list June 10 with a right lat strain. The Mariners still haven't set a timetable for the right-hander's return, though there is optimism within the organization that he'll rejoin the bullpen sometime in early September. A more definitive timeline will likely emerge after he gets through a few mound sessions. |

Ward (quad) isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Houston.
Analysis: Ward missed Thursday's game against the Yankees due to quad tightness, and his injury will now force him to sit out Friday's series opener as well. Randy Arozarena, Victor Robles and Dominic Canzone will start across the outfield with Ward out, and Julio Rodriguez will work as the DH. |

Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 3:58 PM
Young (head) will start at second base and bat leadoff Friday against the Astros.
Analysis: Young made an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Yankees due to dizziness and was left off Thursday's lineup as well. Now seemingly feeling better, he'll return to his post at second base. The 23-year-old is slashing .275/.326/.300 with two RBI and three runs scored over 43 plate appearances since the beginning of August. |

Colt Emerson Colt Emerson Placed on big-league IL
Fri, Aug 14, 2026, 3:46 PM
The Mariners placed Emerson on the 10-day injured list Friday with left wrist inflammation, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: It was originally reported that Emerson was on his way back to Triple-A after getting off to a slow start in the big leagues, but he will instead end up on the major-league injured list due to a wrist injury he suffered while with the big club. Brock Rodden will come up from Tacoma to replenish Seattle's infield depth and could take over as the Mariners' primary shortstop until Emerson or J.P. Crawford (wrist) returns from the IL. |
