Impact Hancock worked only 56 of his 93 offerings in for strikes and generated a modest eight whiffs, but he managed to hang in until the sixth inning. Hancock allowed a solo home run to Tyler Soderstrom to lead off that frame before exiting a batter later after recording an out, making it his longest outing at the big-league level since June 13. The right-hander had several stints with the Mariners this season while shuttling between Seattle and Triple-A Tacoma, and he finished with a 4-4 mark, 4.75 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 39:19 K:BB across 60.2 innings over 12 starts. Hancock posted better overall numbers in 16 starts with the Rainiers (6-3, 3.26 ERA, 1.27 WHIP), but he should have a chance to try and crack the major-league rotation again in spring training.

Recalled from Tacoma The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

Impact Hancock has been recalled ahead of his start Saturday against the Athletics. He made his last start with the Mariners on Sept. 21 against the Rangers, when he allowed two runs on five hits while striking out three across five innings. Across 11 major-league outings this season, Hancock has a 4-4 record with a 4.72 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB across 55.1 innings.

SEPTEMBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact This move implies Luis Castillo (hamstring) will be ready to go early this coming week in Houston, if not right away Monday when first eligible to return from the injured list. Hancock has been a serviceable sixth starter for the Mariners this season, posting a 4.72 ERA and 1.30 WHIP in 11 starts (55.1 innings).

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Earns fourth win Hancock (4-4) earned the win against the Rangers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks with three strikeouts over five innings.

Impact Hancock surrendered a two-run homer to Josh Smith in the third inning but worked four scoreless frames and generated 10 whiffs on 79 pitches. The 25-year-old pitched well considering this was his second consecutive start against Texas and now owns a 4.72 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 36:15 K:BB across 55.1 major-league innings this season. He projects to finish the regular season in the rotation against the Athletics next weekend.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Drawing another start Hancock is slated to start Saturday's game against the Rangers at Globe Life Field.

Impact He'll pick up a second turn through the rotation in place of Luis Castillo (hamstring), who was placed on the injured list Sept. 10. Hancock has made 10 starts for Seattle this season, pitching to a 3-4 record, 4.83 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB over 50.1 innings.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Yields three runs in no-decision Hancock allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers.

Impact Hancock threw 60 of 90 pitches for strikes in a solid start, though the Mariners' offense didn't wake up until after he exited the game. Hancock has given up three or more earned runs in four f his 10 major-league appearances this season. He's at a 4.83 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 33:15 K:BB over 50.1 innings through 10 starts. With Luis Castillo (hamstring) on the injured list, there's a chance Hancock ends the year in the majors. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Yankees.

SEPTEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Up from Tacoma The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

Impact Since being optioned to Triple-A in early July, Hancock has posted a 4.50 ERA and 1.40 WHIP alongside a 30:21 K:BB across 50 innings. He'll now rejoin the Mariners' rotation to replace Luis Castillo (hamstring), who landed on the injured list Tuesday. During his first MLB start in over two months, the 25-year-old Hancock will take on a Rangers offense that owns a .723 OPS since the start of September.

SEPTEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned after spot start The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Hancock made a spot start Saturday, yielding two runs over four innings. With Bryan Woo (hamstring) set to return this week, Hancock is headed back to Tacoma to rejoin its rotation.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in spot start Hancock (3-4) took the loss against Toronto on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over four innings.

Impact Hancock was called up from the minors to make his first start since June 13 (and his second since May 7). He couldn't give the Mariners much length, though, needing 93 pitches to get through four frames. Hancock could be sent back down to the minors in short order if Bryan Woo (hamstring) is able to return to the big-league rotation next week.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Takes loss in spot start Hancock (3-4) took the loss against Toronto on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four batters over four innings.

JULY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled ahead of start The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma to start Saturday's game against Toronto.

Impact Hancock last pitched for the Mariners on June 13, and he has since thrown 9.1 scoreless innings over two starts in Triple-A. He'll be called upon to get the M's through Saturday's contest, though his time in Seattle's rotation will likely only last one start with Bryan Woo (hamstring) nearing a return from the IL. Seby Zavala was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Set to start Saturday Hancock, who is with the Mariners' taxi squad, is slated to start Saturday against the Blue Jays, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact In his last start in the majors, Hancock allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over seven innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on June 13. He has a 4.79 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over eight major-league starts this season. Hancock's spot start Saturday gives the Mariners' rotation extra rest while Bryan Woo (hamstring) begins his rehab assignment with High-A Everett over the weekend.

JULY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Throws five scoreless Hancock (back) didn't factor into the decision in a start with Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, allowing five hits and three walks with two strikeouts across 5.1 scoreless innings.

Impact Hancock was removed from his last start for Tacoma with lower-back tightness but wasn't forced to miss a turn in the rotation. The 25-year-old was a candidate to be called up after Bryan Woo (hamstring) was placed on the IL, but the Mariners opted to recall Jhonathan Diaz instead. It's unclear if Hancock's back flare-up affected the Mariners' decision. Hancock owns a 1.64 ERA across seven starts with Tacoma.

Added to roster for spot start The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.

Impact Hancock will start Thursday against the White Sox, giving the other members of Seattle's rotation some extra rest amidst a stretch of one team day off over the next 14 days. The right-hander has already logged seven starts at the big-league level this season -- the most recent on May 7 -- but has pitched to a 5.24 ERA and 1.31 WHIP while forging a 3-3 record. He's been much more effective at Tacoma, where he's sitting on a 2.17 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over the 29 innings covering his five starts with the Rainiers.

Optioned to Triple-A The Mariners optioned Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.

Impact Bryan Woo (elbow) is ready to rejoin the Mariners' rotation this weekend, leaving no room for Hancock, who posted a 5.24 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 34.1 innings covering seven starts. He'll join Tacoma's rotation and wait for another opportunity with the big club.

MAY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Knocked around for eight runs Hancock (1-1) took a bad loss Sunday against the Brewers, allowing eight runs on 11 hits and a walk while striking out six over 3.1 innings.

Impact One positive to note for Hancock was that his six strikeouts doubled his previous career-best, as he has just a 14 percent strikeout rate over five starts. Sunday was also easily the roughest outing of his career. Eight of the 14 balls put in play against him were hard hit, which included two home runs. The 25-year-old will stay in the rotation for now and lines up for a home start against the Cubs in the upcoming week.

Impact Hancock received a PRP injection in the shoulder on Tuesday in an effort to speed up the healing process. The promising right-hander's recovery period is estimated to be 4-to-6 weeks from Aug. 20, the date he suffered the injury.

Transferred to 60-day IL Hancock (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Hancock was placed on the 15-day injured list after he left Sunday's game with a right shoulder sprain, so it was initially expected he would only miss a couple of weeks. Now on the 60-day, the 24-year-old can not return for the rest of the regular season. Bryan Woo returned from the injured list, but the Mariners also signed starting pitcher Luke Weaver.
