T-Mobile Park, Seattle, WA
Ryder Ryan - Selected to 40-man, optionedRyan was selected to the Mariners' 40-man roster on Thursday and optioned to Triple-A Tacoma.
ImpactRyan likely had another opt-out in his minor-league contract with Seattle, thus triggering this move. The 28-year-old right-hander will remain stationed at Tacoma, where he has pitched to a 3.72 ERA and 38:15 K:BB through 38.2 innings this season.

Mike Ford - Sitting again ThursdayFord remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Angels.
ImpactTeoscar Hernandez will serve as the Mariners' designated hitter as they face off against Shohei Ohtani. Cade Marlowe, Julio Rodriguez and Dominic Canzone are starting across the outfield. Ford has posted a solid overall .817 OPS since joining Seattle in early June, but he's fallen into a deep offensive rut in the last few weeks.

Justin Topa - More high-leverage shots likelyTopa, who recorded his 17th hold in Wednesday's win over the Red Sox with a scoreless one-third of an inning, could see some closing opportunities in the wake of Paul Sewald's trad...
ImpactTopa was called on to get the last out of the eighth inning Wednesday with the Mariners holding a three-run lead, but Kramer notes the 32-year-old could occasionally see higher-leverage opportunities than that the rest of the way. Topa has given up just four earned runs across the 16.2 innings covering his last 20 appearances while producing a 16:3 K:BB, and his 59.8 percent groundball rate speaks to his ability to keep the ball down. Topa has primarily been called on for seventh- and eighth-inning work thus far, but with manager Scott Servais noting he'll "mix and match" to an extent with the closer role moving forward, the right-hander could get some save chances as well.

Matt Brash - Grabs seventh win WednesdayBrash (7-3) got the win over the Red Sox on Wednesday, firing a perfect seventh inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.
ImpactBrash mowed through the Red Sox during a seventh frame in which he need just 10 pitches, seven which found the strike zone, to record his three outs. The right-hander was then rewarded for his sharp performance when Seattle mounted a four-run rally in the seventh inning and held on the rest of the way, making him the pitcher of record. Brash is expected to see a boost in eighth-inning work, especially in games when the Mariners have the lead, as part of the reshuffling of the high-leverage end of the bullpen in the wake of Paul Sewald's trade to the Diamondbacks; however, the fact manager Scott Servais called on him to prevent a 3-2 deficit from growing any larger Wednesday also speaks to the trust the hard-throwing right-hander has built with a breakout 2023 that's also seen him pitch to a 3.35 ERA and 15.4 K/9 while also garnering 15 holds and one save.
