Tosses five perfect frames
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 9:17 AM
Anderson struck out seven batters over five perfect innings in a game with Double-A Arkansas on Friday.
Analysis: Anderson -- presumably for rest purposes with no injury reported -- had not taken the mound in three weeks, but he picked up right where he left off and showed no signs of rust. It's unclear what Seattle's plans are for Anderson the rest of the way, but with a 1.27 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and eye-popping 115:10 K:BB in 77.2 innings over 15 starts on the season, it's evident Double-A batters are no match. |

Bryce Miller Bryce Miller Tagged with loss Friday
Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 8:38 AM
Miller (4-5) was tagged with the loss Friday against the Rangers after allowing five runs on six hits and a walk across 5.1 innings. He didn't record a strikeout.
Analysis: Miller has dropped his last three starts and five of the last six, but the most surprising aspect of this outing is the fact that he didn't record a single strikeout -- it's the first time it has happened to him in 2026. Miller is trending in the wrong direction and has gone 1-5 with a 4.01 ERA and 1.13 WHIP across 33.2 innings over his last six starts while allowing seven homers. His next start won't be any easier, as he's scheduled to face the Dodgers on the road. |

Thu, Jul 23, 2026, 6:28 AM

Analysis: Naylor's up to 21 stolen bases on the season, with three coming in his last four games. The first baseman has been hot at the plate as well, logging at least one hit in 13 of his last 14 contests while going 8-for-17 (.471) over his last four games. Overall, Naylor is slashing .261/.323/.359 with eight home runs, 39 runs scored and 37 RBI across 412 plate appearances this season. |

Emerson Hancock Emerson Hancock Logs quality start in no-decision
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 6:51 PM
Hancock did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Reds, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out three.
Analysis: Hancock was struck in the hand by a comebacker in his last start before the All-Star break, forcing him out of the game after 1.2 innings. However, X-rays came back negative, and Hancock was able to turn in a quality start Wednesday, picking up where he left off in the first half of the season. Prior to the break, Hancock had allowed just one run on seven hits across 14.1 innings in his last three outings. His ERA now sits at 3.16 through 19 starts (105.1 innings) this season with a 1.01 WHIP and 97:26 K:BB. Hancock is tentatively in line to face the Dodgers at home his next time out. |

J.P. Crawford J.P. Crawford Remains out Wednesday
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 12:14 PM
Crawford (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Reds.
Analysis: Crawford has been held out of action for all three games against the Reds as he battles a sore left wrist. He'll get an additional day of rest Thursday with the Mariners idle, and the club could make a determination at that point whether Crawford needs a stint on the injured list. Weston Wilson is handling third base again Wednesday in Crawford's stead. |

Julio Rodriguez Julio Rodriguez Back in Seattle lineup
Wed, Jul 22, 2026, 12:11 PM
Rodriguez (leg) will start at designated hitter and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Reds.
Analysis: Rodriguez didn't start Tuesday's contest due to a minor leg issue, but he clubbed a home run off the bench and is back in there for the series finale. Luke Raley will shift to center field and Dominic Canzone will play right field while Rodriguez eases back into things at DH. |

Miles Mastrobuoni Miles Mastrobuoni Sticking in organization
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 5:49 PM
Mastrobuoni cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma.
Analysis: Mastrobuoni was dropped from the active and 40-man rosters Saturday to make room for Julio Rodriguez's (leg) return from the IL, but the former will officially remain in the Mariners' system after passing through waivers unclaimed. Mastrobuoni, 30, has slashed just .172/.310/.293 through 71 plate appearances at Tacoma and is likely to spend the vast majority of what's left in the season at Triple-A. |

J.P. Crawford J.P. Crawford Still out of lineup Tuesday
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 5:33 PM
Crawford (wrist) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Reds.
Analysis: Crawford was scratched from Monday's lineup due to a sore left wrist. With the condition of his wrist still in question, he's remaining out Tuesday as Colt Emerson gets the start at shortstop while Weston Wilson starts at third base. |

Julio Rodriguez Julio Rodriguez Remains day-to-day Tuesday
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 5:30 PM
Rodriguez (leg) is not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Reds.
Analysis: Rodriguez was pulled from Monday's game against the Reds after getting hid by a throw from shortstop. He was pulled from the game, but Manager Dan Wilson was not too concerned about the star's health. The right-handed bat will sit Tuesday while Wednesday remains unknown. The Mariners have a day off Friday as they travel to Texas. Victor Robles has the start in center field is batting seventh. |

J.P. Crawford J.P. Crawford Recovering from sore wrist
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 12:50 PM
Mariners manager Dan Wilson said after Monday's 8-0 win over the Reds that Crawford was scratched from the lineup due to a sore left wrist, LookoutLanding.com reports.
Analysis: Colt Emerson was a late addition to the lineup as a replacement for Crawford, whom the Mariners are viewing as day-to-day while he manages the wrist issue. Since coming off the injured list June 16 after missing time with a bruised right hand, Crawford has served as a near-everyday player while moving between third base and shortstop but has slashed just .190/.302/.240 over 28 games. Crawford could be in danger of fading into more of a utility role once Brendan Donovan (groin) completes his rehab assignment and returns from the 10-day IL. |

Shaky since return
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 10:46 AM
Single-A Inland Empire activated Steensma (forearm) from the 7-day injured list July 10.
Analysis: Per Geoff Pontes of Baseball America, Steensma suffered a right forearm strain May 10, so he ended up missing exactly two months after the serious diagnosis. There is a significant risk of re-injury for any pitcher who suffers a forearm strain that doesn't lead to surgery, and it's worth noting Steensma logged a 1.42 ERA and 0.47 WHIP in 19 innings pre-injury and he has a 10.80 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 3.1 innings (two appearances) since returning to action. |

On mend from TJS
Tue, Jul 21, 2026, 10:41 AM
Shen is recovering from Tommy John surgery, Geoff Pontes of Baseball America reports.
Analysis: It's unclear exactly when Shen had the procedure, but he didn't pitch at all this season, as the injury occurred early in camp. He'll likely be out until at least the middle of the 2027 season. The 22-year-old Taiwanese righty logged a 4.67 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 68:14 K:BB in 69.1 innings in the lower levels of the minors in 2025. |

Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 10:16 PM
Rodriguez was removed during the sixth inning of Monday's game against the Reds for an unspecified reason, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Rodriguez looked to grab at his left hamstring after beating out a throw at first base in the bottom half of the fifth inning, per Jude, but the team has yet to provide an official update. Weston Wilson was deployed in right field and Victor Robles was bumped over to center in Rodriguez's place. |

Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 7:46 PM
Rivas (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Friday.

Mon, Jul 20, 2026, 6:48 PM
Crawford (undisclosed) was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Reds, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Colt Emerson was initially scheduled for an off-day, but he will now start at shortstop for the Mariners and bat ninth. It's unclear why Crawford was removed from the lineup, but Seattle should provide an update on the veteran shortstop before or during Monday's game. |

Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 9:45 PM
Celesten was promoted to Double-A Arkansas on Sunday, Adam Jude of The Seattle Times reports.
Analysis: Celesten will move up a level in the Mariners' minor-league system after he posted a .314 average with 13 home runs, 52 RBI, 64 runs scored and 18 stolen bases over 309 at-bats in 80 contests with High-A Everett so far this year. The 20-year-old is considered to be one of Seattle's top overall prospects, and he'll look to maintain his impressive level of production with Arkansas. |

Josh Naylor Josh Naylor Records 19th steal
Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 6:16 PM
Naylor went 2-for-4 with one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Naylor saw his nine-game hitting streak snapped Saturday, but he responded with his first multi-hit effort since June 30. The first baseman has picked up four steals on five attempts in July and is now 19-for-23 on the basepaths this season. He's batting .253 with a .671 OPS, eight home runs, 37 RBI, 37 runs scored and 12 doubles over 93 games. |

Luke Raley Luke Raley Hits go-ahead homer
Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 6:14 PM
Raley went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Raley came off the bench for Weston Wilson in the sixth inning and delivered a go-ahead homer. Raley had gone 21 games without a long balls, batting just .164 with three RBI and a 3:20 BB:K in that span. He's hitting .230 with a .746 OPS, 15 homers, 37 RBI, 26 runs scored, one stolen base, nine doubles and a triple over 85 contests. The recent downward trend could lead to him becoming a bench bat if he doesn't turn things around, though he should still see a decent amount of time against right-handed pitchers as a left-handed hitter. |

Cole Young Cole Young Homers again in Sunday's win
Sun, Jul 19, 2026, 6:11 PM
Young went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Giants.
Analysis: This was Young's second consecutive multi-hit effort, both of which have included a homer. The second baseman has 13 long balls on the year, including four over his last nine contests. He's now batting .256 with a .724 OPS, 48 RBI, 48 runs scored, three stolen bases, 14 doubles and a triple over 100 games this season. Young batted third Sunday against southpaw Robbie Ray -- the 22-year-old infielder could stick higher in the order if he sustains his momentum. |
