Michael Arroyo
Michael Arroyo Undergoes elbow surgery
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 2:09 PM
Arroyo underwent right elbow surgery Wednesday to clean up cartilage and brace a chronic injury to his UCL.
Analysis: The Mariners expect Arroyo to be ready to play in games again by next April, so he's slated to get a late start to next season. Arroyo was impressive down the stretch for the Mariners after being summoned for his major-league debut in September, going 13-for-35 (.371) with one home run, two steals and a 5:6 BB:K. It's unclear whether Arroyo will be able to play the field right away upon his return, or if the Mariners could limit him to designated hitter initially.
Grant McCray
Grant McCray Claimed by Seattle
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 2:47 PM
The Mariners claimed McCray off waivers from the Giants on Thursday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: McCray logged just 11 hits in 77 MLB at-bats this season, but the Mariners will take a flier on him and add him to their 40-man roster to begin the offseason. The 25-year-old outfielder posted a .708 OPS in 244 plate appearances at Triple-A in 2026 and will likely spend most of next season in the minors as well.
Bryce Miller
Bryce Miller Still with Seattle after declined option
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 2:15 PM
The Mariners declined Miller's $6.075 million club option for 2027 on Thursday.
Analysis: Miller remains under team control through 2029, but the Mariners expect to be able to lock him in at a cheaper cost for 2027 via the arbitration process. The 28-year-old right-hander had an up-and-down 2026 campaign, finishing with a 4.17 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119:38 K:BB across 118.2 innings.
Andres Munoz
Andres Munoz Club option for 2027 exercised
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 2:10 PM
The Mariners exercised Munoz's $9 million club option for 2027 on Thursday.
Analysis: Munoz had a disappointing 2026 season by his standards, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 89:24 K:BB over 57.1 innings. However, he's still a bargain at that price, and the Mariners will have another club option on Munoz for 2028. Munoz boasts a career 34.4 percent strikeout rate, and he'll be in line to serve as closer for Seattle again in 2027.
Josh Naylor
Josh Naylor Undergoes surgery on wrist
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 1:37 PM
Naylor underwent surgery Saturday to repair the triangular fibrocartilage complex in his right wrist.
Analysis: Naylor first hurt his wrist in early August, and he went homerless in his final 41 games after the injury. The Mariners anticipate Naylor being fully recovered before the start of spring training. Naylor will be looking to bounce back offensively for Seattle in 2027 after finishing with just a .667 OPS and 10 long balls this season, though he kept his fantasy value afloat by stealing 30 bases for the second year in a row.
Cal Raleigh
Cal Raleigh AC joint surgery on shoulder
Mon, Oct 5, 2026, 1:27 PM
Raleigh underwent debridement surgery Saturday on the AC joint in his left shoulder.
Analysis: He is expected to be fully recovered from the operation by the beginning of spring training. It's unclear how much the shoulder issue might have affected him, but Raleigh experienced a massive downturn in production from his historic 2025 season to 2026, dipping 284 points in OPS (.948 to .664) and dropping from 60 home runs to 23 long balls. With health, Raleigh should bounce back to some degree in 2027.
Michael Toglia
Michael Toglia Claimed by Mariners
Fri, Oct 2, 2026, 1:53 PM
The Mariners claimed Toglia (shoulder) off waivers from the Reds on Friday.
Analysis: Toglia is recovering from late August surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but the Mariners felt he was worthy of a waiver claim even though he'll spend the next few months rehabbing. The 28-year-old was dreadful in limited action for the Reds in 2026, going 3-for-26 with 12 strikeouts.
Cal Raleigh
Cal Raleigh Three hits in finale
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 5:25 PM
Raleigh went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Angels.
Analysis: Raleigh largely struggled in 2026, though he showed some signs of a turnaround late in the season. He hit .229 (19-for-83) over 22 contests in September, lifting his average for the season to .182. Raleigh added a .664 OPS, 23 home runs, 69 RBI, 49 runs scored, 15 doubles and two stolen bases over 126 contests. He failed to live up to expectations this year, but he should benefit from positive regression next season.
Logan Gilbert
Logan Gilbert Shines in abbreviated start Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 5:22 PM
Gilbert walked one over four-plus scoreless and hitless innings while striking out eight in a no-decision versus the Angels on Sunday.
Analysis: The Mariners clearly didn't want to push Gilbert too much in a meaningless game, pulling him after he walked Moises Ballesteros to open the fifth inning, ending his chance at a perfect game. Gilbert managed just six scoreless outings this season, and just two of them came after the All-Star break as he struggled down the stretch. He ends 2026 with a 12-11 record, 3.73 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 205:49 K:BB through 186 innings over 32 starts.
Kade Anderson
Kade Anderson Diagnosed with forearm bruise
Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 10:11 PM
Anderson left Saturday's game against the Angels due to a left forearm bruise.
Analysis: Anderson was quickly pulled from Saturday's start after taking a comebacker off his pitching arm in the fourth inning. It appears the 22-year-old southpaw has avoided a serious injury, a good sign for him and the Mariners heading into the offseason. Anderson made his major-league debut Aug. 22, and across seven big-league starts he posted a 3.79 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 35.2 innings.
Kade Anderson
Kade Anderson Pulled quickly after taking comebacker
Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 9:51 PM
Anderson was removed from Saturday's start against the Angels due to a left elbow injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Anderson took a 103.8 mph comebacker from Christian Moore in the fourth inning, and the former was promptly removed from the game after talking with trainers. Kramer notes that Anderson has stayed in the dugout rather than going to the clubhouse for further evaluation, so the move to remove the 22-year-old southpaw appears to have been a precautionary decision, especially with the Mariners eliminated from playoff contention. Michael Rucker was brought out from the bullpen following Anderson's exit.
Troy Taylor
Troy Taylor Back in majors
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:59 PM
The Mariners recalled Taylor from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Analysis: Taylor will come up from the minors as a replacement for Andres Munoz (knee), who landed on the injured list Friday. The 25-year-old Taylor has spent all season at Tacoma, logging a 5.14 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 56 innings, and he'll likely be limited to low-leverage work during the final weekend of the regular season.
Andres Munoz
Andres Munoz Done for season
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:55 PM
The Mariners placed Munoz on the 15-day injured list Friday with right knee inflammation.
Analysis: Munoz hasn't pitched since Sunday due to knee problems, and although MRI results on his knee came back negative Tuesday, the Mariners will play it safe and shut their closer down for the year. The 27-year-old didn't quite live up to expectations this season, posting a 4.24 ERA and 1.22 WHIP across 57.1 innings, but he still managed to turn in 28 saves and an 89:24 K:BB. Troy Taylor was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move.
Cal Raleigh
Cal Raleigh Out of lineup Friday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 5:20 PM
Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.
Analysis: Jhonny Pereda will step in behind the plate to catch for starter Bryce Miller, as Raleigh sits amid an 0-for-12 stretch. Raleigh is wrapping up one of the most disappointing follow-ups to an MVP-caliber season in recent memory, as he's slashing just .179/.294/.369 across 520 plate appearances in 2026.
Leo Rivas
Leo Rivas Recalled from Tacoma
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 2:46 PM
The Mariners recalled Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
Analysis: Rivas will give the Mariners some additional infield depth following the injury to Brock Rodden (knee). The 28-year-old Rivas has a steady glove but has been woeful offensively during his time with the Mariners this season, slashing .147/.270/.190 in 48 games.
Brock Rodden
Brock Rodden Inflamed knee ends season
Thu, Sep 24, 2026, 2:43 PM
The Mariners placed Rodden on the 10-day injured list Thursday with left patella tendon inflammation.
Analysis: It's unclear how long Rodden's knee has been bothering him, but the injury will prematurely end the infielder's season. He'll finish with a lowly .197/.306/.279 batting line with no home runs or stolen bases in 30 contests for the Mariners.
Brock Rodden
Brock Rodden Getting rest Wednesday
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 5:42 PM
Rodden isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston.
Analysis: Rodden will take a seat Wednesday after failing to record a hit in each of his last 10 at-bats -- seven of which ended in a strikeout. Weston Wilson will fill in at third base and bat ninth.
Randy Arozarena
Randy Arozarena Swipes 24th bag
Wed, Sep 23, 2026, 7:22 AM
Arozarena went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-0 loss to the Astros.
Analysis: Arozarena is now 24-for-32 in stolen base attempts this season. The outfielder has carried a hot bat down the stretch, hitting .347 (26-for-75) with six homers and a 1.104 OPS in his last 20 games. Overall, Arozarena is slashing .279/.379/.480 with 26 homers (one shy of his career high), 76 RBI and 106 runs scored across 647 plate appearances this year.
Andres Munoz
Andres Munoz Could be available Tuesday
Tue, Sep 22, 2026, 5:08 PM
MRI results on Munoz's right knee came back negative Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.
Analysis: Imaging on Munoz's knee didn't reveal any significant issue, and he could be available to pitch in Tuesday's game against the Astros if he responds well to pregame treatment. Otherwise, Gabe Speier and Jose Ferrer would likely be the Mariners' top high-leverage options.
Eduard Bazardo
Eduard Bazardo Picks up first save
Sun, Sep 20, 2026, 8:54 PM
Bazardo picked up the save Sunday against the Rockies. He allowed no hits and a walk while striking out two over two-thirds of a scoreless inning.
Analysis: With Andres Munoz (knee) forced to exit early, Bazardo stepped in and recorded the final two outs to secure the victory for the Mariners. It marked the right-hander's first career save across six big-league seasons. In 2026, Bazardo owns a 3.94 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 66:23 K:BB with 26 holds over 64 innings.
