Randy Arozarena Comes Up Clutch

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.

Andres Munoz Collects Another Save On Wednesday

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz has already racked up seven saves in his team's nine wins this season. He pitched a clean ninth inning against the Reds in Cincinnati to secure the 5-3 win. He didn't give up a hit or run but did need 19 pitches to get through the inning. The 26-year-old righty has appeared in nine games for the Mariners this year, allowing only five hits and racking up 12 strikeouts in nine scoreless innings. He'll continue to be one of the top closers in baseball since his team plays so many close games, and he is so effective closing them out. The Mariners finish their series in Cincy on Thursday afternoon.

Bryce Miller Strikes Out Eight

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryce Miller picked up the win on Wednesday, striking out eight batters over five scoreless innings in a 5-3 victory over the Reds. He allowed three hits and walked two. This was his first win of the season and his best start so far. He cruised through five and was pulled from the game with 78 pitches, so he may have had room for even more. He'll carry a 3.43 ERA into his next start, currently lined up to be against the Red Sox at Fenway.

Cal Raleigh Goes Deep Twice

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit two solo home runs in a 5-3 win over the Reds on Wednesday. It was his 7th home run of the season, and he is now slashing .217/.308/.565. He now has five home runs in his past five games. It's exactly what you'd expect from the slugger, who posted a poor .203 batting average in 2024 but hit 34 long balls. His exceptional power for a catcher continues to make him one of the best at the position for fantasy.

Dylan Moore Homers Twice, Drives In Four On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners second baseman Dylan Moore turned in a big game in an 8-4 loss to the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday. Moore went 3-for-5 with two homers and four RBI in the loss to Cincinnati. The veteran infielder provided all the offense for the Mariners, leading off the game with a homer against Reds starter Nick Lodolo and then blasting a two-run shot off Lodolo in the fifth. Moore is off to a good start in 2025, hitting .306 with four homers, eight runs, six RBI, and two steals across 36 at-bats. He is worth starting in deeper fantasy leagues while he's swinging a hot bat.

Logan Evans Named Pacific Coast League Pitcher Of The Week

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Logan Evans was named Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week. He enjoyed an impressive outing on April 9 when he shut down the Sacramento River Cats. He tossed six innings of one-run ball. He allowed just two hits, with no walks, and struck out seven. This was a much-needed bounce-back outing for Evans as he allowed five runs and eight hits across five innings of work in his previous start. Last summer, the 23-year-old spent his entire campaign with Double-A Arkansas and held a 3.20 ERA with a 1.18 WHIP across 107 innings of work. He struck out 98 batters and served up 42 free passes. Fantasy managers should contribute to monitoring the Pittsburgh product's development at Triple-A, as he could be in the mix for a second-half MLB debut.

Cal Raleigh Homers In Third Straight Game

Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh hit a two-run home run in his first at-bat on Sunday, propelling Seattle to a 3-1 victory over Texas. It was Raleigh's third consecutive game with a home run, all during the Mariners' weekend set against the Rangers. In the series, Raleigh went 4-for-10, three home runs, five runs scored, and five RBI. The 28-year-old backstop is living up to his reputation as a power-first, contact-second hitter. Raleigh's five home runs so far lead all catchers in the category (he is tied with Logan O'Hoppe), but he is hitting just .220. Fantasy managers taking on Raleigh will be grateful for the power he provides so long as they have the complementary pieces to offset the damage he can do to a team's batting average. The Mariners kick off a three-game series against the Reds at Great American Ball Park on Tuesday.

Logan Gilbert Fans Seven, Gets First Win Of 2025

Mariners ace Logan Gilbert hung around for five innings on Sunday, striking out seven Rangers on his way to his first win of the season. Rangers outfielder Dustin Harris tagged Gilbert for a home run in the second inning, Gilbert's third longball allowed in 2025, but that was the only run he gave up on Sunday. He also gave up just two other hits. Gilbert has thrown fewer than six innings in three of his four starts this year, but thanks to a league-leading 38.5% K%, he ranks second in strikeouts with 32. Through four starts, Gilbert has a 1-1 record, 32 K, 2.38 ERA, and 0.66 WHIP. The 27-year-old is expected to next take the mound against the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 19.

Bryan Woo Tosses Seven-Inning Gem

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo delivered a stellar performance on Saturday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball and earning his second win of the season in a 9-2 drubbing of the Texas Rangers. Woo allowed six hits and a walk while striking out seven. The 25-year-old now owns a stellar 2.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP through three starts and is a must-start option in fantasy right now. His next start should come next week against the Blue Jays, and fantasy owners should have Woo in their lineups across the board for that one.

Jorge Polanco Likely To DH For Another Week Or Two

The Seattle Times' Adam Jude reports that Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco (side) is likely to serve as the designated hitter for another one to two weeks, according to a source. With Ryan Bliss out for the foreseeable future after tearing his biceps, it has the M's short-handed with infield options at the major-league level. In the short term at second base, Seattle has the left-handed-hitting Miles Mastrobuoni and switch-hitter Leo Rivas as stop-gap options. Mastrobuoni got the start against a right-hander on Wednesday. The light-hitting Rivas has a dependable glove and some speed, which is useful off the bench. Long term, former first-round prospect Cole Young has been regarded as the team's second baseman of the future. However, a promotion isn't imminent. At third base, Dylan Moore is the team's only viable option right now until Polanco is cleared to return to playing defense.

Ryan Bliss To Have Surgery On Torn Biceps, To Miss 4-5 Months

The Seattle Mariners announced on Thursday that infielder Ryan Bliss (biceps) will have surgery on his torn left biceps on Friday and is expected to miss four to five months. Bliss was put on the 10-day injured list on Wednesday after suffering the serious injury during a swing in Tuesday's game against the Houston Astros. The 25-year-old will be out for the foreseeable future and will eventually be moved to the 60-day IL. It's a tough break for Bliss, who had been serving as the team's primary second baseman before the injury. Before the injury, the former second-rounder by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2021 out of Auburn was hitting just .200 (7-for-35) with a home run, double, three RBI, two steals and a run scored in 11 games. With Bliss out for a while, expect Dylan Moore to see most of the playing time at the keystone, with Miles Mastrobuoni and Leo Rivas occasionally filling in.

Luis F. Castillo Sent Back To Triple-A

Seattle Mariners right-handed pitcher Luis F. Castillo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma following their contest on Wednesday afternoon against the Houston Astros. Castillo was given two starts during his brief stint in the big leagues but will now head back to the top level of the minor leagues to continue his development. On Wednesday, Castillo stumbled as he allowed six hits and four runs (three earned) with five walks across four innings of work. Castillo also logged four 2/3 innings in the major leagues last season and did not allow a run. The 30-year-old was initially promoted to provide depth in the rotation with George Kirby (shoulder) on the IL. Fantasy managers should monitor the Seattle rotation as they could promote Emerson Hancock to fill the spot in the rotation.

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.

Jorge Polanco Back In Lineup Against Astros

After taking a day off on Tuesday, Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco (side) is serving as the designated hitter and is batting second in Wednesday's series finale against the visiting Houston Astros and right-hander Hunter Brown at T-Mobile Park. Polanco has battled side soreness recently and was given the day off to rest on Tuesday, but he's back in there on Wednesday and will be hoping to keep his strong start to the 2025 season going. The 31-year-old Dominican infielder has 10 hits in his first 26 plate appearances of the season over seven games while delivering two home runs, 10 RBI, a stolen base, two runs scored, one walk and three strikeouts. Polanco continues to deal with injuries, though, and fantasy managers should probably expect the oft-injured switch-hitter to eventually land on the injured list. In eight career at-bats against Brown, Polanco is hitting .250 with a .625 OPS.

Ryan Bliss Placed On 10-Day Injured List

Seattle Mariners second baseman Ryan Bliss (biceps) was placed on the 10-day injured list due to a left biceps tear. The 25-year-old reportedly suffered this injury during Tuesday's contest against the Houston Astros. In a corresponding move, the Mariners promoted Leo Rivas from Triple-A Tacoma. Bliss has had a starting role in the Seattle starting nine through the opening two weeks of the season. Through 11 games, Bliss has posted a .200/.282/.314 slash line with one double and one home run. Fantasy managers should expect Dylan Moore to see most of the time at the keystone, once veteran Jorge Polanco is cleared to return to the hot corner. Miles Mastrobuoni and Leo Rivas could also see occasional starts at second base as well.

Dylan Moore Batting Leadoff On Tuesday

Seattle Mariners infielder/outfielder Dylan Moore is starting at third base and is hitting leadoff on Tuesday against the division-rival Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez at T-Mobile Park. It's notable with outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder) on the injured list with a serious shoulder injury that could keep him out for the majority of the season. The 32-year-old Moore will see a boost in fantasy value in deeper leagues if he gets a long look in the leadoff spot for Seattle moving forward, especially after his hot start to 2025. He's currently slashing .381/.480/.667 with a 1.147 OPS, two home runs, two RBI, two stolen bases and five runs scored in his first nine games played. Moore is especially useful in fantasy for his speed (career-high 32 swipes in 2023) and his multi-position eligibility. He's hit .192 in 26 career at-bats versus Valdez, but he does have one homer and three RBI.

Victor Robles Expected To Miss 12 Weeks With Fracture In Shoulder

Seattle Mariners outfielder Victor Robles (shoulder) is expected to miss a minimum of 12 weeks after an MRI revealed that he not only suffered a dislocated shoulder, but also a small fracture in his left shoulder as well. The injury happened on Sunday while making a spectacular catch in foul territory. The 27-year-old was coming off a strong finish to the 2024 campaign with the Mariners, and had just started to heat up, collecting a hit in eight straight games, including three consecutive multi-hit efforts. Dominic Canzone was called up from Triple-A Tacoma to replace Robles. Canzone has just a .208 batting average and .265 on-base percentage through 126 major league games, but has managed to hit 14 home runs during that time. Still, fantasy managers may want to see how playing time shakes out before considering adding him to rosters, as it was Luke Raley who started in right field for the M's on Monday.

Hunter Cranton Sidelined With Concussion

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Hunter Cranton (concussion) opened the minor league season on the injured list due to a concussion. Cranton suffered this injury during a Cactus League game after being struck by a comebacker. While the 24-year-old has been able to slowly start increasing his workload, he is still experiencing concussion symptoms. Cranton joined the Seattle organization last season with a third-round pick from Kansas. He spent time at Low-A with the Modesto Nuts. Across eight 1/3 innings of work out of the bullpen, the 24-year-old posted a 3.24 ERA with a 1.32 WHIP. He held a 4:14 BB:K and did not allow a home run. When he returns to action, he could open the campaign at High-A.

Andres Munoz Closes Out Mariners Win

Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz picked up his fourth save of the season on Monday night, moving within one save of the Major League lead. Munoz has shut the door on each of the Mariners' four wins this season and held the Astros without a runner in a clean inning that included a strikeout of Yainer Diaz. He has not allowed a run in five innings over five games while issuing four walks and allowing two hits but also recording eight strikeouts. He's one of the top closers in the American League and should continue to anchor the back end of the Mariners' bullpen. Seattle should continue to be in enough close games that he stays among the league leaders in saves most of this season.

Jorge Polanco Returns To Mariners Lineup

Seattle Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco (side), who missed the team's last two games due to soreness in his side, is back in the starting lineup for Monday's series opener against the visiting Houston Astros at T-Mobile Park. Polanco is the designated hitter and will bat second, with Ryan Bliss playing second base and batting eighth against Astros right-hander Hayden Wesneski. Fantasy managers will want to get the 31-year-old Polanco back in their starting lineups to begin the week with the veteran switch-hitter going 9-for-20 with two home runs and eight RBI in his first six games for Seattle in 2025. Polanco also has a homer and two RBI in only three career at-bats against Wesneski. If the Dominican infielder can get through Monday's contest without a setback to his side, he could return to second-base duties as soon as Tuesday.
