AJ Pollock - Out for fourth time in six games Pollock is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact After going 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rockies, Pollock will take a seat for the fourth time in six games. The Mariners have an everyday spot in the lineup up for grabs, but with a .125/.214/.375 slash line through 28 plate appearances on the season, Pollock hasn't made a compelling case to claim a regular role.

Sam Haggerty - Placed on 7-day IL Haggerty was placed on the 7-day concussion injured list by the Mariners on Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Haggerty crashed on his head while diving for a ball during Friday's game against the Rockies and hasn't been in the lineup since. Marco Gonzales will take his place on the roster after being reinstated from the paternity list.

Jarred Kelenic - Key source of offense Sunday Kelenic went 1-for-2 for an RBI single, a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Sunday.
Impact Kelenic was a one-man, small-ball wrecking crew for the Mariners in the 1-0 win, driving home Ty France with his sixth-inning single for what turned out to be the winning run. The 23-year-old extended his on-base streak to 11 games in the process, and in recording his third steal of the season, he's already halfway to the career-high figure he posted in 2021.

AJ Pollock - Returns to lineup Pollock is hitting seventh and playing left field Sunday against the Rockies.
Impact Pollock has not seen much playing time against right-handed pitching to open 2023, but he'll get a start against Noah Davis and the Colorado staff for the series finale Sunday. Tommy La Stella retreats to the bench with Jarred Kelenic in right and Teoscar Hernandez serving as the designated hitter.

Emerson Hancock - Off to great start at Arkansas Hancock has allowed just one earned run on seven hits and recorded 13 strikeouts over nine innings across his first two starts for Double-A Arkansas.
Impact The talented right-hander got his season started with five scoreless innings against Corpus Christi during which he recorded seven strikeouts, and he followed it up by limiting Springfield to an earned run on four hits across four frames on Friday. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports Hancock's fastball was consistently in the 93-95 mph range and generated plenty of swings and misses in his first start, corroborating the 2020 first-round pick seems to be at full strength after struggling with a right shoulder impingement and strained lat muscle in 2021 and 2022, respectively. "Big time arrow up, trending right direction, whatever you want to call it from him," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "I thought the velocity was better than what I was expecting to see. He looked very healthy."

J.P. Crawford - On base four times in win Crawford went 2-for-2 with an RBI single, two walks and a run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.
Impact The veteran shortstop was a thorn in the side of the Rockies throughout the afternoon and contributed to the Mariners' nine-run outburst with a timely single in the fourth inning that plated Cal Raleigh and snapped a 1-1 tie. Crawford is riding a tidy four-game hitting streak in which he's gone 5-for-11 with two doubles, Saturday's RBI, five walks and six runs.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Eugenio Suárez - Slugs solo blast in win Suarez went 1-for-4 with an RBI hit-by-pitch and a solo home run in a win over the Rockies on Saturday.
Impact Suarez recorded his two RBI in drastically different ways, following up his 367-foot solo shot to center in the fourth inning by getting plunked with the bases loaded in the sixth to drive in a run. The 31-year-old is in the midst of an extended stretch of hot hitting, as he's produced five multi-hit efforts, 13 RBI, a .320 average and an .855 OPS over the 56 plate appearances covering his last 12 games.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Julio Rodríguez - Knocks in four runs Saturday Rodriguez went 1-for-5 with a triple and four RBI in Saturday's 9-2 win against the Rockies.
Impact Rodriguez had the biggest hit of the game for Seattle, plating three runs with a two-out triple in the fourth inning. The star outfielder knocked in another run with a fielder's choice in the sixth to give him a campaign-high four RBI in the victory. Rodriguez is slashing .254/.315/.448 with two homers, nine RBI, four stolen bases and 13 runs through 15 games this season.
APRIL 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
George Kirby - Picks up first victory Kirby (1-1) secured the win over Colorado on Saturday, allowing two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 6.1 innings.
Impact Kirby recorded a season-low three punchouts and notched a modest nine swinging strikes Saturday, but he held the Rockies to a pair of runs to enjoy his first win of the campaign. The right-hander started the season with a rough 4.1-inning effort during which he allowed four earned runs, but he's since posted consecutive quality starts during which he's allowed three earned runs over 12.1 frames. Kirby's 6.5 K/9 so far in 2023 is disappointing after he recorded a 9.2 K/9 over 130 frames as a rookie last season, but he has plenty of time to catch up. His next start is tentatively scheduled to come at home against St. Louis next week.
