J.P. Crawford - Homers again Monday Crawford went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and two total runs in Monday's 8-4 win over Washington.

Impact Crawford opened the bottom of the first inning with a leadoff homer to right field and reached base three more times in the contest. He's gone deep twice in three games since returning from a brief hiatus due to a shoulder injury. Crawford has never hit double-digit homers in a season, but he's on pace to do so this year with six long balls through 71 contests.

Eugenio Suárez - Belts eighth homer Suarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in an 8-4 win against the Nationals on Monday.

Impact Suarez swatted a solo shot to left field in the fourth inning and gave Seattle its first lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. The long ball was just his second in June and his eighth overall on the campaign. Suarez has gone deep at least 31 times in every full season since 2018 but will need to step up his power output considerably to reach that mark again this year.

Paul Sewald - Notches first save in 10 days Sewald earned a save against the Nationals on Monday by striking out the only batter he faced.

Impact The Mariners held a five-run lead heading into the ninth inning, but Tayler Saucedo allowed a run and loaded the bases with two outs. That brought Sewald into the game, and he ended the threat with a strikeout of Jeimer Candelario. The save was the first for Sewald since June 16, though not due to a diminishing of his role, as no Seattle pitcher earned a save during the 10-day span. The veteran right-hander continues to be the primary ninth-inning option for he Mariners, and he's converted 12 of 14 save opportunities on the campaign.

Luis Castillo - Picks up win Monday Castillo (5-6) earned the win over Washington on Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over seven innings.

Impact Castillo allowed a solo homer in each of the first and second frames but settled down thereafter and finished his outing by retiring the final seven batters he faced. The right-hander racked up an impressive 17 swinging strikes and tied his season high by completing seven frames. The victory snapped a personal four-game losing streak for Castillo, though he had maintained a decent 3.42 ERA and 1.23 WHIP during that stretch. Though the veteran's record is just 5-6 on the season, he's been very effective with a 2.86 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 108:28 K:BB over 94.1 innings.

Dylan Moore - Steals base as pinch runner Moore entered Sunday's loss to the Orioles as a pinch runner in the ninth inning and recorded a stolen base.

Impact Moore was swapped in for Ty France after the latter's two-out, ninth-inning single, and he worked himself into scoring position with his first steal of the season before finishing the game on second due to Teoscar Hernandez's strikeout. Moore has appeared in eight games overall (three starts) since making his delayed season debut and struggled mightily early, with a solo home run on Wednesday against the Yankees his only hit thus far across 18 plate appearances.

Cal Raleigh - Stays hot at the plate Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 3-2 loss against the Orioles.

Impact Raleigh took Kyle Bradish yard in the second inning for a two-run homer that plated Eugenio Suarez and marked the catcher's second homer in four games. Over that four-game stretch, Raleigh is hitting 6-for-17 (.352) with five runs scored and four RBI while only striking out twice.

George Kirby - Takes loss despite strong outing Kirby (6-7) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits and one walk over 6.1 innings against the Orioles. He struck out four.

Impact For the second straight appearance, Kirby added a tally to the loss column while also finishing with a quality start. Most of the damage against Kirby came in the third frame, where Anthony Santander launched a two-run homer that plated Jorge Mateo. Despite being tied for the eighth most losses in MLB, Kirby holds a strong 3.26 ERA on the year and has given up just five earned runs over his last three starts (19.1 innings). He is tentatively scheduled to toe the rubber again during a home series versus the Rays next weekend.

Justin Topa - Takes third loss Saturday Topa (1-3) took the extra-inning loss against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing two runs (one earned) on one hit over one-third of an inning. He did not issue a walk or record a st...

Impact Topa's blink-and-you-missed-it 10th-inning stint on the mound spanned all of seven pitches, with Ryan McKenna hitting a game-winning two-run home run after Adley Rutschman had flied out to start the frame. The 32-year-old right-hander had produced scoreless efforts in seven of his previous eight trips to the mound, and despite Saturday's stumble, his solid 3.34 ERA and 13 holds across a career-high 32 appearances are all encouraging figures from a fantasy perspective.

Jarred Kelenic - Swipes ninth base Saturday Kelenic went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

Impact Kelenic made good use of his one trip on the basepaths with his first steal since June 13. Kelenic also went without a strikeout for only the second time in the last nine games, an especially welcome sight considering he was coming off back-to-back three-strikeout tallies. Kelenic's 34.6 percent strikeout rate across the last 12 games has helped lead to him going just 7-for-44 with three extra-base hits (two doubles, one triple) over that span, resulting in a 19-point drop in batting average to .251.

J.P. Crawford - Homers in return Crawford (shoulder) went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

Impact The veteran shortstop was back in the lineup and leading off after missing three games with a bruised shoulder, and he slugged the second of four Mariners homers on the afternoon in the third inning. Crawford has now left the yard twice in his last four games after going 16 straight games without a round-tripper immediately prior to that streak. He's been a constant presence on the bases throughout his last 10 games, however, generating a .391 OBP thanks in large part to a 15.2 percent walk rate in that span.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Julio Rodríguez - Homers, swipes bag in loss Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and a steal in Saturday's loss to the Orioles.

Impact Rodriguez jumped on a hanging curveball from Dean Kremer to lead off the sixth inning and launched it over the wall in left field, tying the game at 3-3. He also singled twice and stole a base, but was left stranded on each occasion as the Mariners fell on the road in Baltimore. The long ball was Rodriguez' third this month and he's now hit safely in three straight. Furthermore, the center fielder has racked up five stolen bases over his last seven games.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Ford - Jacks two homers Ford went 2-for-4 with two solo homers in Saturday's loss to the Orioles.

Impact Ford had himself a day Saturday, mashing two solo homers, including a game-tying blast in the top of the ninth off Felix Bautista to send the game into extra innings. The first baseman is now up to six home runs in June to go along with eight RBI and nine runs scored, though he's still hitting a putrid .182 for the month even after the two-homer performance. He's also struck out 16 times this month while drawing only one walk.

JUNE 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Bryce Miller - Struggles with command Miller did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing three runs on six hits and three walks over 4.1 innings in a 6-4 loss to the Orioles. He struck out four.

Impact Miller struck out three of the first five batters he faced and appeared to be on track for another solid outing. However, he began to struggle with his command in the second, needing 25 pitches to get out of the inning while surrendering one run on two hits, along with one walk. It was more of the same in the third as the rookie walked the leadoff batter and later gave up a solo homer to Anthony Santander to tie the game at 2-2. Miller would only go on to be charged with three runs on the afternoon, but he lasted just 4.1 innings, throwing 96 pitches over that span. His ERA now sits at 5.49 in June and he's now allowed a home run in three of his last four starts after not allowing one over his first five starts to open the season.
