Bryce Miller - Delivers quality start Miller (2-1) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk over 6.1 innings against Atlanta on Friday. He struck out four and was tagged with the loss.

Impact After allowing a run in the first inning, Miller cruised through five scoreless frames. He gave up just one single during that span and retired nine straight batters on two occasions. The rookie righty left in the seventh with two runners on base and was charged with both as they came around to score. Miller had given up just one run through 19 frames before Friday's contest and he still owns a terrific 1.42 ERA. However, after 10 punchouts in his MLB debut, he's recorded just 12 strikeouts over his last three starts. Miller is currently expected to face the Athletics -- the same team he debuted against -- at home next week.

Jose Caballero - Starting at second base again Caballero is starting at second base and batting ninth versus Atlanta on Friday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Caballero had been serving the short side of a platoon at second base but has now made two straight starts versus right-handers. The rookie infielder is batting .298/.393/.362 on the season.

Kolten Wong - Benched again versus righty Wong is not in the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact It marks two games in a row that Wong has been benched in favor of Jose Caballero against a right-hander, as it looks like he's seeing his long-side platoon role slip away. Wong is batting just .177/.259/.231 on the season and hasn't been sharp defensively, either.

MAY 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kolten Wong - Could be losing starting job Mariners manager Scott Servais on Wednesday didn't dismiss the possibility of Jose Caballero seeing more playing time than Wong at second base moving forward, Ryan Divish of the Se...

Impact Caballero -- who is hitting .289/.365/.356 -- has been on the short side of a platoon with Wong but on Wednesday got the start against right-hander Brayan Bello. Wong is batting just .177/.259/.231 on the season and has struggled at times defensively, as well. "We'll see," Servais said. "You're trying to put guys out there that are going well. Certainly, Kolten has got a long track record of being a really productive player in this league. But you know as I've often said, 'It's a do-good league.' It is a results-driven league and it's the big leagues. It's kind of the way it is. So again, we'll see what Cabby brings tonight and we'll go from there."

Dylan Moore - Begins rehab assignment Moore (oblique) has been assigned to High-A Everett to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact Moore had to be pulled off his initial rehab assignment a month ago because of scar tissue that had built up following his core muscle surgery. He's ready to go again now, though, but figures to need a good number of rehab games before returning given how long he's been sidelined

Chris Flexen - Thriving as reliever Flexen, who fired three scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and recorded a strikeout in a loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday, has yet to be scored upon in seven frames ac...

Impact Wednesday's efficient 29-pitch outing marked Flexen's second-most voluminous relief appearance in that regard, as he'd thrown 43 pitches in just two innings against Toronto in his bullpen debut April 30. The one-time starter has issued just one free pass and scattered seven hits over his stint as a reliever thus far, and his versatility should continue to afford him multi-inning assignments that may occasionally allow him to qualify for a hold or decision.

Jose Caballero - On base thrice in loss Caballero went 1-for-2 with an RBI infield single, two walks and a run in a loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Caballero's fourth-inning knock finally put the Mariners on the board after they'd already incurred a 9-0 deficit, and he also came around to score Seattle's second run on a throwing error by Pablo Reyes in the sixth. The rookie has delivered consistently at the plate over his first 20 big-league games following a long minor-league career, with Wednesday's production pushing his average and on-base percentage to .298 and .393, respectively, across 56 plate appearances.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Haggerty - Productive as in-game replacement Haggerty entered Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the game at second base, going 1-for-1 with a double, a walk and a run.

Impact It was a rare taste of both action and offensive success for Haggerty, who'd logged only nine plate appearances since May 3 coming into the night. The 28-year-old's two-bagger was his first extra-base hit of the season, and he's still sitting on an abysmal .147/.237/.176 slash line across 38 plate appearances over 17 games following the productive cameo.

Andrés Muñoz - Resumes throwing Munoz (shoulder) has resumed throwing on flat ground following a platelet-rich plasma injection earlier this month, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact Munoz was given the shot after experiencing a setback with his right shoulder. He's expected to know within the next couple days whether he can progress to throwing off a mound and eventually go out on a rehab assignment. Things are trending in the right direction but the Mariners will go slowly with their prized reliever.

MAY 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jonatan Clase - Slow start at Double-A Clase is hitting .217 with one home run, 10 steals and a 31.5 percent strikeout rate in 12 games since getting promoted to Double-A Arkansas.

Impact The speedy outfielder, who turns 21 next week, put up a .333/.453/.701 slash line while playing half his games in the hitter friendly park at High-A Everett before earning the promotion. Clase is already on the 40-man roster and should remain at Double-A for the rest of the season.

Marco Gonzales - Blown up by BoSox Gonzales (3-1) took the loss against Boston on Wednesday, allowing eight runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 1.2 innings.

Impact Gonzales fell behind 3-0 after one frame, and things got even worse for him in the second. In that inning, five Red Sox batters reached base, and all came around to score (including two after the lefty hurler was pulled for a reliever). Gonzales had racked up two straight quality starts coming into Wednesday, though he had another blow-up prior to that stretch, yielding eight runs (five earned) in three innings against Toronto on April 30. The loss against Boston was Gonzales' first of the season, but his overall numbers have not been pretty, as he's posted a 6.10 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 38.1 frames.
