Tyler Locklear Hits Two Home Runs

Seattle Mariners first base prospect Tyler Locklear went 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, and a walk during their contest against Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday evening. This outing extended Locklear's hitting streak to four games. During this stretch, Locklear has tallied five extra-base hits and held a 4:3 K:BB. Through 69 games with Triple-A Tacoma this season, the former 58th overall selection has been quite productive, posting a .297/.379/.459 slash line with 18 doubles, eight home runs, 12 stolen bases, and a 64:32 K:BB. The first baseman made his MLB debut last season but appeared in only 16 games. During this brief taste, Locklear posted a .156/.224/.311 line. Fantasy managers should expect Locklear to return to Seattle during the second half of the campaign.

Mitch Garver Cracks Two Homers, Drives in Five

Seattle Mariners catcher/designated hitter Mitch Garver had a monster game on Friday, smacking two homers and driving in five in a 9-4 win over the Chicago Cubs. Garver belted a two-run homer in the sixth inning, then one-upped himself with a three-run shot in the ninth that put the game out of reach. It simply seems unfair that the Mariners had four home runs from their catchers in this one, with Garver and Cal Raleigh both blasting a pair. Unlike the latter, Garver has struggled this season, hitting just .216 with 12 runs, three homers, 16 RBI, and three steals in 116 at-bats. He has begun to sit out a lot in June, so he will need more games like this in order to earn playing time. It was a great performance, but this game doesn't mean anything for fantasy, and Garver remains a non-option.

Cal Raleigh Makes History on Friday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his remarkable first half of the season in a 9-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The switch-hitting Raleigh smashed two homers, drove in three runs, scored four times, and drew a walk in a 3-for-4 day. Having gone deep a league-leading 29 times this year, Raleigh now holds the record for most HRs by a catcher before the All-Star break. That honor previously belonged to the legendary Johnny Bench, who swatted 28 before the break in 1970. Raleigh still has 22 games left until the Midsummer Classic to continue building on his new record. In addition to his historic HR total, Raleigh is slashing a tremendous .273/.379/.646 with 63 RBI, 51 runs, and nine stolen bases. He has been a fantasy manager's dream this year.

Jorge Polanco Sitting Vs. Cubs

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco will not be in his team's lineup for their series opener against the hosting Chicago Cubs on Friday. It's a routine day off for the Dominican Republic native, as he started the last 13 contests for Seattle. Teammate Cole Young will man the keystone and bat ninth, while Mitch Garver handles DH duties from the five-hole against southpaw Matthew Boyd. Polanco has cooled off considerably after a red-hot April in which he hit .379. Since then, he's just 24-for-132 (.182) with two homers, four doubles, and 11 runs scored to match his RBI total. A stark contrast to the eight home runs he mashed in 58 April at-bats.

Luke Raley Returning From IL

MLB.com's Daniel Kramer reports that the Seattle Mariners are activating outfielder Luke Raley (oblique) from the injured list ahead of their road series opener with the Chicago Cubs. First baseman Rowdy Tellez was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Raley has been on the mend since late April with an oblique strain, but he's ready to return from his lengthy absence after going 7-for-19 with a double and a home run in five minor-league rehab games. The Lake Erie College product struggled to a .206/.345/.324 triple slash in 24 games before his injury. However, it's worth mentioning that he's vastly underperformed his xBA (.260) and xSLG (.432).

Michael Arroyo Hits Home Run No. 15

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Michael Arroyo went 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs, and a walk during their contest against High-A Spokane on Thursday. Arroyo has enjoyed an impressive surge at the plate during June. Since June 1, Arroyo has posted a stellar .357/.486/.786 line with three doubles, seven home runs, 15 RBI, and a 12:8 K:BB. Through 62 total games with High-A this season, Arroyo has held a .278/.435/.535 slash line with 14 doubles and 15 long balls. Last season, Arroyo made his High-A debut and posted a very similar .290/.397/.519 line with 15 doubles and 12 long balls. Given his impressive production at High-A over the past two seasons, fantasy managers should expect the No. 7-ranked prospect in the system to join Double-A in the coming weeks. He remains on track to reach the majors in 2026.

Lazaro Montes Blasts 15th Home Run of 2025

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes went 1-for-3 with two walks and a three-run home run on Wednesday for High-A Everett. The longball was his 15th of the year, which leads the entire Northwest League, as does his five triples, 45 RBI, and .540 slugging percentage. The Mariners' second-ranked prospect is hitting .259 thus far with a .410 wOBA and 137 wRC+. Flaunting some of the biggest power in the minors and now with 115 games at High-A under his belt, the 20-year-old should get a chance to prove himself at Double-A later this year, and is a prospect to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues.

Luke Raley Could Return This Weekend

The Seattle Times' Adam Jude reports that Seattle Mariners first baseman/outfielder Luke Raley (oblique) is on the verge of being activated from the 10-day injured list and could return this weekend for a series against the Chicago Cubs. When he does return, the 30-year-old left-handed slugger is expected to be in the strong side of a platoon in Seattle in right field. He has gone 7-for-19 with a home run and a double in five minor-league rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma. Fantasy managers in shallow formats can continue to ignore Raley, who will be returning to just a .206/.345/.324 slash line with two round-trippers, eight RBI and 10 runs scored in his 68 at-bats. In addition to being able to play right field, Raley could be used at first base and designated hitter by the M's. His power can be useful in deeper fantasy formats after he hit a career-high 22 homers in 2024.

Colt Emerson Goes Deep Again on Wednesday

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson went 4-for-5 with a double and a home run during their contest against High-A Spokane on Wednesday. This was Emerson's second-straight game going deep and fourth-straight game tallying an RBI. In addition, this impressive outing extended his current hitting streak to six games. During this stretch, Emerson has posted a .480/.567/.880 slash line with four doubles, two home runs, two stolen bases, and a 5:3 K:BB. He has posted three multi-hit games during this surge. Through 60 games this season with High-A Everett, the top-ranked prospect in the Seattle system has posted a strong .267/.368/.423 line. Given his recent performances, Emerson could be in the mix to join Double-A early in the second half of the season.

Jonny Farmelo Back on Injured List With Stress Reaction in his Rib

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Jonny Farmelo (rib) returned from a torn ACL just several weeks ago but is now headed back to the minor-league injured list after suffering a stress reaction in his rib from swinging the bat, according to Seattle Sports' Cameron Van Til. Farmelo, the team's No. 6 prospect per MLB Pipeline, is expected to be out for four to six weeks, according to general manager Justin Hollander. The 20-year-old former first-rounder in 2023 missed almost 11 months after tearing his ACL last June with Low-A Modesto. He was hitting .288/.348/.610 with five homers and 12 RBI in just 15 games with High-A Everett before injuring his rib. It's a disappointing development for the 6-foot-2, 205-pound left-hander. He's a few years away from a big-league debut, but when he gets there, his plus-plus speed should make him an immediate fantasy asset.

J.P. Crawford Out Against Tough Lefty on Wednesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford will retreat to the bench for Wednesday's contest at T-Mobile Park against the visiting Boston Red Sox with tough left-hander Garrett Crochet on the bump. Dylan Moore will make the start at the 6 for Seattle and will bat leadoff. Crawford is hitting a strong .294 (72-for-245) on the year but with minimal power (six homers) and speed (five steals) for fantasy managers. He also hasn't been nearly as good against lefties in 2025, going 14-for-68 (.206) with two of his six home runs. Although Moore doesn't have nearly as strong of an average (.234), he gives fantasy managers in deeper leagues slightly more power/speed upside and plenty of positional versatility. He's hit eight homers and stolen nine bases in 145 at-bats and is also hitting .286 with an RBI in seven career at-bats against Crochet.

Bryan Woo Picks Up Win on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo notched a quality start and earned the win in his team's 8-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Woo tossed seven shutout innings, allowing one hit while striking out six and walking two. The veteran hurler picked up 16 swinging strikes on the way to improving his record to 6-4, to go along with a 3.12 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, and 78 strikeouts over 89 1/3 innings of work this season. Woo doesn't have huge strikeout upside, but he contributes solid numbers across the board, making him a strong option in fantasy leagues. His next start will be against the Minnesota Twins on Monday.

Cal Raleigh Homers, Drives in Six on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh had a huge game in an 8-0 win over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday. Raleigh went 3-for-4 with a homer, two runs, and six RBI to power his team to victory. The veteran catcher gave Seattle a 5-0 lead and broke the game wide open with a grand slam off Boston starter Walker Buehler in the second inning. Raleigh is posting an MVP-caliber first half of the season, hitting .266 with 27 homers, 47 runs, 60 RBI, and eight stolen bases across 263 at-bats. His 27 homers currently lead all of baseball. Raleigh is a no-brainer starting option in all fantasy leagues.

Colt Emerson Busy on Tuesday

Seattle Mariners shortstop prospect Colt Emerson went 3-for-5 with a double, a home run, and three RBI during their contest against High-A Spokane on Tuesday evening. This performance extended Emerson's current hitting streak to five games. During this stretch, the top-ranked prospect in the Seattle system has posted two multi-hit games and held a .400/.520/.700 line. Through his first extended taste of High-A, Emerson has been able to hold his own, as he has posted a .255/.360/.403 line with eight doubles, four triples, six home runs, and a 49:35 K:BB. Last summer, Emerson earned a taste of High-A but posted a much lower .225/.331/.317 line over his first 29 games at the level. Young is currently considered the No. 19-ranked prospect in baseball. If he continues to turn the corner, he could earn a look at Double-A later in the second half.

Logan Gilbert Fans 10 in Return on Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) did not miss a beat in Monday's 2-0 loss to the Red Sox. Gilbert, who had been on the injured list since late April due to a right elbow flexor strain, pitched five innings, allowing two runs on three hits (including a solo home run) and a walk with 10 strikeouts. While he came away with the loss, this was a highly encouraging start for fantasy managers and the Mariners, who have dealt with numerous rotation injuries. The 28-year-old is now 1-2 with a 2.55 ERA, a 0.79 WHIP, and a 13.75 K/9 rate in seven starts and 35 1/3 IP. His next scheduled start will be a tough one at the Cubs, but fantasy managers will likely feel more confident throwing their ace out there after his stellar return performance.

Randy Arozarena Steals Two Bases on Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Randy Arozarena turned in a productive game in a 6-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Arozarena did not record an official at-bat but he walked three times, scored two runs, and stole two bases in the win. The veteran outfielder's numbers are down this season by his standards as he is now hitting .231 with eight homers, 29 runs, 28 RBI, and 14 stolen bases across 247 at-bats. That being said, he is close to recording a fifth straight season with double-digit homers and steals. That blend of power and speed potential keeps him in the conversation as an above-average fantasy outfielder in most leagues.

J.P. Crawford Smacks Grand Slam in Victory

Seattle Mariners shortstop J.P. Crawford belted a grand slam in the club's 6-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Crawford came to the plate in the bottom of the second and emptied the bases with a 377-foot blast against right-hander Luis Ortiz. He added a walk in a 1-for-3 afternoon. Although Crawford hadn't homered in June until Sunday, he has been a hitting machine over the past couple weeks. In 15 games since May 30, the 30-year-old has gone an incredible 25-for-57 (.439) with two HRs, nine RBI, 12 walks, and five strikeouts. After recording lackluster production a year ago, he has bounced back to slash .296/.411/.413 with six homers, 29 RBI, 30 runs, and four steals over 289 plate appearances. With Crawford ranking in the league's 85th percentile in xwOBA and in its 90th percentile in xBA, his rebound looks legitimate.

Emerson Hancock Tosses Seven Shutout Innings

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Emerson Hancock shut out the Guardians over seven innings in a 6-0 win on Sunday. He allowed two hits and a walk and struck out four. This was his sixth straight start of allowing three or fewer runs, and this was the longest of the bunch. Only one other start in that span was at least six innings in length. The 26-year-old's lack of efficiency has led to a 4.48 ERA and 1.38 WHIP in 2025, with only 45 strikeouts and 21 walks through 62 innings. He'll look to build on this momentum in his next start, which is lined up to be a tough matchup against the Cubs.

Logan Gilbert to Start on Monday

Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert (elbow) will be activated off the injured list and start against the Boston Red Sox on Monday. Gilbert appears to be finally ready to return after being sidelined since late April due to a right elbow flexor strain. He looked strong during his most recent rehab start where he struck out six batters across five shutout innings. Before going down, Gilbert had allowed two earned runs or less in five of his first six starts this season. Gilbert needs to be rostered and started in all fantasy formats.

Lazaro Montes Goes Deep on Friday

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Lazaro Montes went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run during their contest against High-A Tri-City on Friday evening. This performance snapped a seven-game power skid for the No. 2-ranked prospect in Seattle. During this minor skid, Montes posted a low .160/.300/.280 line with an 11:4 K:BB. However, over his last 14 games before the slump, the 20-year-old carried a .333/.410/.722 slash line with three doubles, six home runs, and a 15:7 K:BB. Montes has continued to show improvement at the High-A level and is nearing a promotion to Double-A. During his first taste of High-A last summer, Montes posted a solid .805 OPS. However, he has been able to raise that to a stellar .936 OPS through 60 games this season. Montes remains on track to contend for his MLB debut next summer.
