Seattle Mariners reliever Kendall Graveman struggling since return Out of all of the bullpen additions this offseason, no one expected Kendall Graveman to be the deadliest pitcher out of the Seattle Mariners...
Blows save Saturday Graveman gave up one run on one hit over one inning while striking out one and was charged with a blown save against the Rays on Saturday.
Impact The right-hander was called upon in the ninth inning to protect a one-run lead. He registered two quick outs before Brandon Lowe tagged him with a game-tying solo shot to send the contest into extra frames. The blown save was Graveman's first this season, and he has been very effective overall with a 1.31 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, five saves and four holds across 18 appearances.

One inning in IL return Graveman, reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day, allowed an earned run on a solo home run and surrendered an additional hit over one inning in a loss to Clev...
Impact Graveman was seeing his first game action since May 16, so some rustiness was to be expected. The right-hander allowed a solo home run to Cesar Hernandez during his one frame, a round tripper that opened the scoring for Cleveland and kickstarted their comeback. Now that he's back in the fold, Graveman is likely to return to his usual high-leverage role, one that's netted five saves and four holds across 15 appearances.

Reinstated from injured list Graveman (COVID-19 protocols) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list prior to Friday's game against Cleveland.
Impact Graveman hasn't pitched since May 16 and was officially placed on the COVID-19 injured list May 23. The right-hander went on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma earlier this week and is now set to rejoin Seattle's bullpen. Graveman figures to resume as one of manager Scott Servais's top closer options going forward.

Rehab assignment on tap Graveman (COVID-19 injured list) threw a live batting practice session for Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.
Impact The Mariners still have yet to confirm whether Graveman tested positive for COVID-19, but he completed a mandatory quarantine Thursday and is beginning to ramp up again after having not appeared for the big club since May 16. Rather than rushing him back from the IL, the Mariners want Graveman to make at least one rehab appearance for Tacoma, so he likely won't be activated until next weekend. Assuming Graveman quickly recaptures the form he displayed prior to going into quarantine, he should represent the top option for saves out of the Seattle bullpen once he's formally reinstated from the IL.

Out of quarantine Graveman (COVID-19 protocols) is out of quarantine and has rejoined the team in Seattle, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Graveman hasn't pitched since May 16 since he's been on the COVID-19 injured list, so he'll need to build his workload back up before he returns to major-league games. The righty could require simulated games or a rehab assignment before he's cleared to rejoin the Mariners' bullpen, but he appears to be trending in the right direction.
