Matt Brash - Grabs third win Wednesday Brash (3-2) secured the win in an extra-inning victory over the Athletics on Wednesday, firing 1.2 scoreless innings during which he allowed a hit and recorded two strikeouts.
Impact Brash was rewarded for snuffing out an eighth-inning threat when first entering the game, putting away Tony Kemp and Brent Rooker on a groundout and swinging strikeout, respectively, to strand Nick Allen on third base. Brash then worked around a leadoff single by Ramon Laureano in the ninth after the Mariners had tied the game in the top half of the frame and qualified for the decision once Eugenio Suarez broke the game open with a three-run home run in the 10th inning. Brash has now strung together four straight scoreless efforts and is rewarding fantasy managers with an elite 43.1 percent strikeout rate through 14.2 innings.

Jose Caballero - Three-hit night in win Caballero went 3-for-5 with an RBI single and a run in an extra-inning win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact The multi-hit effort was the first of Caballero's young career and gave his average and OPS boosts of 76 and 120 points to .250 and .611, respectively. The rookie has logged just 31 plate appearances to date but has already flashed with a pair of doubles and stolen bases apiece in addition to Wednesday's encouraging performance.

Julio Rodríguez - Walks, scores in return Rodriguez (back) went 0-for-4 with a walk and a run in an extra-inning win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact The Mariners were cautious with their star outfielder in his return from a two-game absence, limiting him to designated hitter duties. Rodriguez has now reached safely in three straight games but is still carrying a disappointing .231 average and .297 on-base percentage through 128 plate appearances thus far this season.

Taylor Trammell - Gets start in left field Trammell is starting in left field and batting eighth for the Mariners on Thursday in Oakland, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact Julio Rodriguez is getting another start at designated hitter as he's eased into things following a minor back issue. It has resulted in Jarred Kelenic sliding over to center field and Trammel getting a start in left.

AJ Pollock - Launches fourth homer Pollock went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run, a walk and an additional run in an extra-inning win over the Athletics on Wednesday.
Impact The veteran left the yard for the second time in as many days when he launched a game-tying 410-foot solo shot to center in the ninth inning. Thanks to having knocked seven of his nine hits for extra bases thus far this season, Pollock boasts a .414 slugging percentage that stands in stark contrast to his .155 average across 63 plate appearances.

Eugenio Suárez - Demolishes his third homer of year Suarez went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 7-2 win over Oakland.
Impact Suarez came up clutch for Seattle, mashing a homer to right-center to give the Mariners a 5-2 lead in the top of the tenth inning. The former Red has some work to do to get back to the level of play he displayed over the last two seasons, however. The 31-year-old only has three long balls through 30 games, and he hit 31 homers in both 2021 and '22. If the veteran keeps going at his current pace, he will only reach approximately half of that total by the end of this season.

Logan Gilbert - Turns in quality outing Gilbert did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out six.
Impact Gilbert pitched as well as fantasy managers could've hoped for, keeping Oakland in the park and posting a 3:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The right-hander has proven to be a solid option, sporting a 1.07 WHIP to go along with 40 strikeouts. The 25-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Rangers at home in his next start.

Robbie Ray - Undergoes Tommy John surgery Ray underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact The procedure was performed by Dr. Keith Meister in Texas at the TMI Sports Medicine facility. Ray will travel to Arizona in a few weeks following his initial recovery to begin his rehab. The left-hander has already been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023 season, and it's very likely that Ray will miss time to begin the 2024 campaign as well.

Kolten Wong - Out Wednesday vs. lefty Wong is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Impact Wong continues to not play against left-handed pitching, and the veteran infielder will begin Wednesday's game against the Athletics on the bench with JP Sears on the mound for Oakland. Jose Caballero is hitting eighth and playing in second base in Wong's place.

Cal Raleigh - Sitting out against lefty Raleigh is out of the lineup against the Athletics on Wednesday, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Impact Raleigh will take a seat after going 0-for-2 with a pair of walks in a win for the Mariners over the Athletics on Tuesday. Tom Murphy will handle catching duties and hit sixth.
MAY 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julio Rodríguez - Returns to lineup as DH Rodriguez (back) is leading off as the designated hitter for Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Sonja Chen of MLB.com reports.
Impact Rodriguez was scratched late from Tuesday's game against the Athletics because of the back soreness that saw him miss Sunday's game against Toronto, but it appears the star outfielder will be back at the top of the lineup against the A's on Wednesday. Jarred Kelenic is playing center field with Rodriguez at DH, and Taylor Trammell will begin the game on the bench.

Jarred Kelenic - Clutch two-bagger Monday Kelenic went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a win over the Athletics on Monday. He was also caught stealing on his only attempt.
Impact Kelenic's eighth-inning two-bagger brought home Jose Caballero with what turned out to be the game-winning run. Kelenic's 27.6 percent strikeout rate certainly has room for improvement, but he's looked like an exponentially more confident player thus far this season compared to his first two big-league stints in 2021 and 2022 while generating a .309/.371/.617 slash line across 105 plate appearances.
