Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena was the hero for his team during Thursday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Arozarena tied the game with a home run off right-hander Emilio Pagan in the ninth inning. He would later hit a two-run single in the 10th inning to help extend the lead to 10-7. That would be enough as the Mariners were able to take this game 11-7 in 10 innings. Arozarena finished his day 2-for-4 with a double, homer, 3 RBI, and two walks in the victory. His slash line isn't pretty, but Arozarena is heating up with five hits over his last three games.
Randy Arozarena Hits Grand Slam, Draws Walk-Off Walk In Comeback Win
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena had a huge game and was the primary catalyst for the team's 7-6 comeback win over the division-rival Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park on Wednesday. Arozarena did it all for the M's in this one, going 2-for-5 with a grand slam and a walk in the bottom of the ninth inning to walk the Astros off with the bases loaded and two outs. The 30-year-old veteran finished the game with five RBI, a run scored and two walks to raise his season average to .191 and his OPS to .801. The Cuban slugger came into Wednesday's game hitting just .159 (7-for-44) but with two home runs and three doubles in his first 12 games of 2025. While Arozarena still has plenty of power/speed potential, his move to Seattle late last year wasn't great for fantasy purposes. He has produced four straight 20-20 seasons, but don't expect much help in the average department.
Randy Arozarena Smashes Second Homer Of The Season
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena connected on a solo home run in the second inning, which started Seattle's comeback against Detroit that ultimately fell just short. Arozarena's second homer of the season came in his first at-bat of the game, and he later added a walk in the third inning and a double in the seventh inning. The Mariners trailed 6-0 before they even came to the plate on Monday and came back to make it close before losing, 9-6. Arozarena is 3-for-16 (.188) after his two hits on Monday, with four walks and six strikeouts. Since each of his hits have been for extra bases, he has a .438 ISO and .405 wOBA despite his low batting average.
According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Seattle Mariners and outfielder Randy Arozarena have agreed on a one-year contract worth $11.3 million to avoid arbitration. Arozarena opened the 2024 campaign with the Tampa Bay Rays but was eventually shipped to Seattle during the second half. The outfielder had a down year to his standards as he held a .219/.332/.388 line across 154 games. This was a stark drop to the .254/.364/.425 line he held during the 2023 campaign. However, he did hit 20 home runs and swiped 20 bags. Under the hood, he generated a solid 43.5% hard-hit rate but struggled at the plate with a hefty 29.7% whiff rate and a 26.1% K rate, which were both significantly below the average marks. Fantasy managers should expect Arozarena to operate as the everyday left fielder in Seattle in 2025.
Randy Arozarena, J.P. Crawford Sitting On Thursday
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena and shortstop J.P. Crawford are both taking the day off on Thursday in the series finale against the division-rival Oakland Athletics at the Oakland Coliseum. Victor Robles will start in left field and bat leadoff, while Leo Rivas will make the start at the 6 and bat ninth against A's right-hander Joey Estes. This will be just Arozarena's second day off with Seattle since they acquired him at the end of July from the Rays. He's been a bit better in Seattle than he was in Tampa earlier this year, batting .238 (29-for-122) with three homers and 12 RBI in his 34 games played. Crawford, meanwhile, has a hit in each of his last two games but has gone 2-for-24 with five strikeouts in seven games since returning from an IL stint on Aug. 28. Robles has been a new hitter since joining the M's and will be a nice sleeper target in DFS in the leadoff spot on Thursday.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena put together a strong revenge game in Wednesday afternoon's win over the visiting Tampa Bay Rays at T-Mobile Park, putting up three hits and a home run in the victory. Arozarena sent a solo homer over the wall in center field to extend the Mariners' lead to 6-2 in the eighth inning on Wednesday against the Rays. The streaky 29-year-old left fielder has been more of the same since landing in Seattle, but overall, he's slashing an improved .242/.385/.394 with three big flies, 10 RBI, 20 runs scored, and four stolen bases through 99 at-bats (28 games) with the M's. His fantasy upside the rest of the way will remain capped, however, by a pitcher-friendly home ballpark and a poor Seattle lineup.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena's three-run homer in Monday's 5-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays was his first in August and only his second since being traded by the Rays on July 26. Arozarena's home run was his only hit in three at-bats. He is hitting .213/.331/.385 with 17 homers, 46 RBI, and 63 runs scored along with 20 stolen bases in 28 attempts. Arozarena's power-speed combination and modest OBP keep him in most lineups. However, fantasy managers find it harder to justify having him in their lineups during the worst season of his career.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena will head to the bench for Sunday's series finale against the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park as the Mariners look to avoid a three-game sweep. Arozarena was beginning to pick things up offensively early in the second half of the season before he was traded to the Mariners at the deadline in late July, but the 29-year-old slugger has fallen on hard times again. He could use the day off after striking out in all five of his at-bats in Saturday's loss. Luke Raley is getting the start in left field for the M's and will bat cleanup, with Justin Turner playing first base and hitting sixth against Pirates right-hander Jake Woodford. Since joining Seattle on July 27, Arozarena has hit .239 (16-for-67) with a homer, five doubles, five RBI and 25 strikeouts in 83 plate appearances over 19 games played. He's also gone hitless over his last four games in 15 at-bats with 10 strikeouts. It's been a tough year for Arozarena and his fantasy managers.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena (undisclosed) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The 29-year-old slugger was removed from Monday's game due to an undisclosed issue after running into the left-field wall. To be fair, the game was already a blowout, so the Mariners had little incentive to leave their newly acquired slugger in the game. Arozarena has five hits in 11 at-bats with his new team. He'll bat second and play left field versus left-hander James Paxton on Tuesday. Get Arozarena back into your starting lineups.
Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena will bat second in the order in his Mariners debut on Saturday night against the Chicago White Sox. Arozarena was acquired via trade by the Mariners late on Thursday night. He'll face off against White Sox starter Erick Fedde, who he has only seen once in his career and is 0-1 against. With injuries to two key parts of the Mariners' lineup (J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez) Arozarena will be asked to carry a heavy load until they are back. With a .318 wOBA and a .338 xwOBA during his time in Tampa, the 29-year-old is due for positive regression. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to keep the right-hander active in their lineup as he should see positive results coming his way shortly.
