SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS

Luis Castillo - Departs with hamstring strain Castillo was removed from Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to a left hamstring strain, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact The right-hander had a good chance to pick up a win Sunday as Seattle scored seven runs across the first two frames, but Castillo was lifted due to the hamstring injury after giving up two runs across three innings. The severity of the issue isn't known, and it's unclear if the 31-year-old will be able to make his next turn through the rotation next weekend versus the Rangers.

Justin Turner - Late add to lineup Turner is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Cardinals.

Impact The 39-year-old was poised to sit Sunday in St. Louis but will instead start the contest since Victor Robles (elbow) was scratched. Turner is off to a slow start in September, as he's gone 4-for-20 with four walks, a double, an RBI and two runs in six games.

Victor Robles - Scratched Sunday Robles (elbow) was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Robles was initial set to start in right field but is still feeling the effects of being hit by a pitch in the elbow Friday, so he'll instead be held out of the lineup for a second straight game. The 27-year-old will also have Monday's team off day to aid in his recovery ahead of Tuesday's series opener versus the Padres.

Gregory Santos - Starts rehab assignment Santos (biceps) started his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma against Albuquerque on Friday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he allowed a hit and a walk.

Impact Santos got some good work in during his first game action since July 31, throwing 15 pitches during his one frame. The right-hander may only need a couple more setback-free outings before being deemed ready for activation and potentially assisting the Mariners' bullpen down the final stretch of the regular season.

Logan Gilbert - Goes distance in loss Gilbert (7-11) took the loss Saturday versus the Cardinals, throwing a complete game (eight innings) in which he allowed two runs on two hits, a walk and a hit-by pitch while strik...

Impact Gilbert was just about at his best Saturday, but a hit batsman and a Pedro Pages two-run home run in the eighth inning sent him to the unlucky loss. This was Gilbert's fifth quality start in seven outings since the start of August. He's covered eight innings on four occasions this year, though this was his first complete game of the campaign. The 27-year-old is now at a 3.15 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 191:33 K:BB through 185.2 innings over 29 starts this season. Gilbert is projected to make his next start at home versus the Rangers.

Victor Robles - Idle Saturday Robles (elbow) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Robles was hit in the elbow by a pitch Friday but wasn't removed from the game until three innings later. He'll get the night off Saturday as Mitch Haniger fills right field.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

J.P. Crawford - On base four times Friday Crawford went 1-for-2 with two walks, a hit-by-pitch and a run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact The busy game on the basepaths was a badly needed one for the struggling Crawford, who'd recently been bumped from the top of the order and had come into the night slashing .083/.290/.083 over the 31 plate appearances covering his first seven games back from the injured list. Crawford had run into some tough luck during that stretch -- he also sported a 19.4 percent walk rate, 16.1 percent strikeout rate and .105 BABIP in that sample -- so an argument could be made Friday may be the start of a turnaround to some degree.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Rojas - Reaches double-digit steals Rojas went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact Rojas reached on a throwing error in the sixth inning and then stole second base for his 10th pilfer of the season, marking his third straight campaign reaching double digits in that category. The 30-year-old had come into the game on a brief but encouraging four-game surge during which he'd gone 4-for-11, his .232/.310/.348 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Justin Turner - Multi-hit tally in win Turner went 2-for-5 with a double in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact The veteran extended his recent stretch of hot hitting with Friday's production, which pushed his average over the last seven games to .320 (8-for-25). Turner has three of the five extra-base hits he's generated since the start of his Mariners tenure July 30 in that span, and he's also striking out at just a 10.0 percent clip within the sample of 30 plate appearances.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Moore - Lifts 10th homer Friday Moore went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

Impact Moore slugged a two-run shot in the sixth inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-0, giving him his second straight two-RBI effort. The round tripper also snapped a rare 31-game homer drought for Moore, who'd last left the yard July 26. The veteran sports a .701 OPS for the season despite the drag of a .205 average, as he's knocked 36 of his 69 hits for extra bases and sports an 11.0 percent walk rate.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Rodríguez - Swipes 21st bag in win Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 6-1 win over the Cardinals.

Impact The center fielder impressed with his glove Friday as much as his bat and legs, but Rodriguez still extended his current hitting streak to nine games while stealing his 31st bag of the season. Since returning from an ankle injury in mid-August, the 23-year-old is slashing .256/.340/.400 over 23 contests with three homers, three stolen bases, 12 RBI and 13 runs.

SEPTEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Miller - Blanks Cards for 11th win Miller (11-8) picked up the win in Friday's 6-1 victory over the Cardinals, allowing three hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Impact The right-hander fired 62 of 94 pitches for strikes and benefitted from some impressive defense behind him when St. Louis put the ball in play -- all four hits off Miller were singles. The quality start was his 15th of the year, and he's given up three runs or fewer in six straight outings, posting a 1.56 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 38:8 K:BB in 34.2 innings over that stingy stretch. Miller will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come at home next week against the Rangers.
