J.P. Crawford - Day off Thursday Crawford is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Oakland.
Impact It's a routine day off for Crawford, who is just 2-for-24 at the plate since returning from the injured list. Leo Rivas will start at shortstop and bat ninth for the Mariners.

Randy Arozarena - Getting breather Thursday Arozarena is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Oakland.
Impact It's the second day off for Arozarena since he was acquired by the Mariners via trade in late July. Victor Robles will shift over to left field and Mitch Haniger will get the start in right field in Thursday's series finale.

Randy Arozarena - Productive night in blowout win Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and two runs in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact Arozarena authored one of five multi-hit efforts for the Mariners in the lopsided victory, and he chipped in two of the team's 16 runs with a timely double in the seventh inning that plated J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez. Arozarena snapped a 1-for-14, four-game skid in the process, a slump that began after he'd recorded five hits over two games on Aug. 28 and Aug. 30. Despite the recent brief downturn, Arozarena has been more productive overall since arriving in Seattle than he was up to that point with the Rays, posting a .238 average, .753 OPS, 11 extra-base hits, 12 RBI, 18 walks and 24 runs while getting on base nine additional times on hit-by-pitches over 34 games in a Mariners uniform.

Mitch Garver - Four-RBI breakout Wednesday Garver went 2-for-5 with a two-run double, an RBI single, a run-scoring groundout and a run in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact Garver had a hand in each of the Mariners' first three runs, driving Victor Robles and Randy Arozarena with a second-inning double before pushing Robles across again in the third via a timely single. The veteran accounted for Seattle's 15th run of the night hours later in the eighth inning with an RBI groundout, closing the book on his first four-RBI tally in exactly a calendar year and a day. Garver is still limping along with co-career-worst .167 average, but he's somehow still managed to record 44 RBI thanks in part to having knocked 29 of his 56 hits for extra bases.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Victor Robles - Fills box score in big win Robles went 3-for-4 with a two-run double, an RBI single, a walk and three runs in a win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact The bottom four hitters in the Mariners' order all mustered multi-hit efforts, with Robles tying No. 8 batter Luis Urias for the most robust of those tallies on the night. The highly productive performance included the fifth multi-hit effort for Robles in his last eight games, a span in which he also boasts eight RBI and seven runs. The veteran outfielder has been utilized at various spots in the order, and his impressive .282 average and .759 OPS allows him to fit anywhere in the lineup while affording him an everyday role as well.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Moore - Swipes bag, drives in two Moore went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over Oakland.
Impact Moore drove home Luis Urias with a two-out RBI single in the fourth before going on to swipe his 29th bag of the campaign and his sixth over his last 10 games (though he only started in eight of those contests). The utility man would later add a double and a sacrifice fly during a seven-run seventh inning for Seattle, marking his second-straight start in which he logged multiple hits. Moore has also hit safely in four of his last six starts, batting .352 (6-for-17) over those games with three doubles, two RBI and five runs scored.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Urías - Huge performance in win Urias went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, four RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Wednesday's win over the Athletics.
Impact Urias brought home Mitch Garver with an RBI double in the top of the fourth before coming around to score himself on a Dylan Moore single as the Mariners took a 5-1 lead. The infielder then added a leadoff homer in the seventh to extend the lead, followed by another RBI double in the eighth, giving him his first three-hit performance of the campaign, as well as his first hits since being promoted to the majors last week. Urias' four RBI on the night also marked a season high.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
George Kirby - Fans nine in win Kirby (11-10) picked up the win over Oakland on Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings while striking out nine.
Impact Kirby surrendered one run in the opening frame after giving up back-to-back hits to start the inning. However, he would then go on to strike out eight of the next 11 batters he faced in the contest en route to posting just his second quality start since July 26 against the White Sox. The right-hander also recorded his second-highest strikeout total of the season Wednesday while securing his third win in his last four decisions. On the downside, Kirby has now allowed multiple runs in seven-consecutive starts.

Jesse Hahn - Inks minors deal with Seattle Hahn signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Wednesday.
Impact Hahn posted a 4.54 ERA and 1.53 WHIP across 41.2 innings with the Dodgers' Triple-A affiliate before being released Thursday. The 35-year-old righty will now give the Mariners some extra organizational depth down the stretch, though he likely won't see any action in the big leagues.
SEPTEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Mitch Haniger - Not starting Wednesday Haniger isn't in the Mariners' lineup Wednesday against Oakland.
Impact Haniger will be missing a third consecutive start Wednesday after recording just one hit over his last five games. Mitch Garver will serve as Seattle's designated hitter and bat seventh while Haniger sits.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Rojas - Getting breather against LHP Rojas isn't in Seattle's lineup for Wednesday's game against Oakland.
Impact The left-handed bat of Rojas will step out of the starting nine Wednesday while southpaw JP Sears starts on the bump for the A's. Luis Urias will pick up a start at third base as a result while batting eighth.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Jorge Polanco - Idle Wednesday Polanco isn't in Seattle's lineup Wednesday against the Athletics.
Impact Polanco will get a chance to regroup Wednesday after going 0-for-13 with four walks over his last five games. While he rests, Dylan Moore will start at the keystone and bat ninth.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Raley - Resting versus LHP Raley isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Wednesday's game against Oakland.
Impact Left-hander JP Sears will start on the mound Wednesday for the A's, so the lefty-hitting Raley will step out of Seattle's lineup. Justin Turner will fill in at first base and bat fifth.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Trent Thornton - Saddled with loss Tuesday Thornton (3-3) took the loss against the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing an earned run on two hits and a walk over one-third of an inning. He struck out one.
Impact Thornton was tasked with preserving a 2-2 tie when he entered in the ninth, and after retiring the dangerous Brent Rooker looking, he never recorded another out. Seth Brown would subsequently walk it off for the Athletics with a single that plated JJ Bleday, snapping an eight-appearance scoreless streak for Thornton and saddling him with his first loss since July 22. The veteran right-hander has been a mostly effective workhorse option for Seattle, but his presence in a high-leverage spot Tuesday may have been at least partly due to the fact closer Andres Munoz is battling elbow soreness.
SEPTEMBER 4 • ROTOWIRE
Cal Raleigh - More timely hitting Tuesday Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run double and a second two-bagger in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Impact One day after driving in two runs with his 28th homer in a series-opening loss, Raleigh was once again one of the few bright spots for the Mariners in a second consecutive defeat. The backstop's first-inning double drove home J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to open the scoring, and those would turn out to be the only runs of the night for the light-hitting Seattle lineup. Raleigh appears to have a chance at a 30-homer, 100-RBI campaign if he keeps up the timely knocks, as he's now sitting just two round trippers and 16 RBI away from those thresholds with 23 games remaining.
