Sam Haggerty - Dealing with head injury Haggerty is currently dealing with a head injury and he could be placed on the seven-day concussion list, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Haggerty is out of the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Rockies, but he likely would have been out anyway with a right-hander on the mound for Colorado in Ryan Feltner. The Mariners did select the contract of Jose Caballero to provide some insurance. Haggerty has been playing everyday against southpaws, but even if healthy he risks losing playing time when Dylan Moore (oblique) comes off the injured list in that role.

Tommy Milone - Designed for assignment Milone was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Milone was called up to make a spot start against the Rockies on Saturday after Marco Gonzales was placed on the paternity list, and he pitched well while allowing just a run over 4.2 innings of work. With Gonzales expected back and a full Seattle rotation, there's no room for him on the roster. if he goes unclaimed, Milone will likely report back to Triple-A Tacoma.

Jose Caballero - Contract selected from Triple-A The Mariners selected the contract of Caballero from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Cabellero is being called up from the Rainiers as insurance for Sam Haggerty after Haggerty banged his head on a diving play during Friday's win. The infielder is unlikely to see much playing time in what could be a short stint on the Seattle bench.

AJ Pollock - Retreats to bench Pollock is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Pollock has played almost exclusively against left-handers this year, so with Ryan Feltner on the mound for Colorado he'll begin Saturday's contest on the bench. Tommy La Stella will be the designated hitter and bat eighth while the red-hot Jarred Kelenic hits sixth as the left fielder.

Julio Rodríguez - Productive at plate Friday Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

Impact Rodriguez gave the Mariners some breathing room with his fourth-inning double, which extended Seattle's lead to 3-1 at the time. The talented outfielder hasn't left the yard since April 7, but he still has a pair of multi-hit efforts in the subsequent six games.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sam Haggerty - Steals another base Friday Haggerty went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

Impact Haggerty swiped his third bag of the season following his second-inning walk, with that pair of developments serving as his only offensive contributions on the night. The 28-year-old has struggled plenty at the plate early with just a .118 average through 19 plate appearances, but his defensive versatility continues to be valued, especially while fellow utility asset Dylan Moore (oblique) remains sidelined.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Matt Brash - Records first win Friday Brash (1-1) notched the win against the Rockies on Friday, firing two-thirds scoreless innings while issuing a walk and recording two strikeouts.

Impact Brash came in to get the last two outs of the fifth inning and was reasonably sharp, and the fact he was on the hill when that frame came to a close led to his first victory. The right-hander has been busy out of the bullpen early with nine appearances in the Mariners' first 14 games, and he's impressively rang up 14 strikeouts across 6.2 innings.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ty France - Timely knock extends hit streak France went 1-for-3 with a two-run double in a win over the Rockies on Friday.

Impact France's fourth-inning two-bagger plated J.P. Crawford and Julio Rodriguez to extend the Mariners' lead to 5-1 at the time. The 28-year-old's hitting streak now sits at 11 games, and he's hitting a blistering .429 over the 17 plate appearances he's logged with runners in scoring position during that span.

Andrés Muñoz - Plays catch Friday Munoz (shoulder) played catch prior to Friday's game against the Rockies and felt no pain or discomfort, the team's official site reports.

Impact The fireballing reliever continues to enjoy a smooth stint on the injured list, helping corroborate an earlier MRI that suggested his strain was minor. Munoz will continue to do some light throwing while on the injured list but appears to be a strong candidate to be activated when first eligible.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Moore - Back with team Friday Moore (oblique) rejoined the Mariners in Seattle on Friday and hit on the field prior to the game without limitations, the team's official site reports.

Impact The utility asset was originally slated to begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the week, but the decision was made to instead keep him in extended spring training for a few more days. Moore is now slated to continue working out at T-Mobile Park for a few more days before he does head out to the Rainiers for some minor-league game action to complete his recovery from the Grade 1 left oblique strain he sustained March 16.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Rob Kaminsky - Inks minors deal with Seattle Kaminsky signed a minor-league contract Friday with the Mariners.

Impact It's more of a return to the Mariners organization, as Kaminsky spent the majority of 2022 at Double-A Arkansas and struggled to a 4.91 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 36.2 innings.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jarred Kelenic - Homers in fourth straight game Kelenic went 2-for-4 with one double, one homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Rockies.

Impact Kelenic's go-ahead two-run blast in the second inning continues the most fruitful week of his career. The lefty's 1.203 OPS is currently good for fifth in the big leagues, and his .366 batting average currently ranks 13th. While these numbers aren't quite sustainable, fantasy managers have plenty of reasons to be exciting going forward.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Paul Sewald - Makes quick work of Rockies in save Sewald picked up the save Friday against the Rockies. He allowed zero runs on zero hits and zero walks while striking out two over one inning.

Impact Sewald is now three-for-three in save opportunities this year, with eight strikeouts in as many innings pitched. The righty continues to prove himself as one of the better closers in the league, as he's had 31 saves over the previous two seasons.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tommy Milone - Executes in season debut Milone did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.

Impact Milone delivered a quality outing after getting called up from Triple-A Tacoma the day before. The 36-year old was yanked after throwing just 82 pitches, but this was most likely an effort by Seattle's staff to ease him back into the big leagues. It remains to be seen what exactly the California native's role will be within the Mariners' pitching staff as the season rolls along.

Robbie Ray - To be re-evaluated Monday Ray (elbow) will be re-evaluated Monday, after which a throwing program could be mapped out, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Manager Scott Servais said Ray looks good and feels good, so it sounds like the doctors will evaluate him before clearing him to begin the throwing program. Ray could require multiple rehab starts to get built back up, so a return in early May seems like a best-case scenario.

APRIL 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cal Raleigh - Off day Friday Raleigh isn't starting Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Raleigh went 2-for-10 with an RBI and a run scored in Seattle's last series with the Cubs, and he will now sit out the series opener against Colorado. In his place, Tom Murphy will take over behind the dish and bat seventh.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Jarred Kelenic - Batting sixth against lefty Kelenic is starting in left field and batting sixth Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Even with a lefty on the bump in Austin Gomber, the hot-hitting Kelenic gets a featured spot in the Mariners' lineup. He is off to a highly encouraging start this season, boasting a .351/.415/.703 slash line with three home runs, four doubles and two stolen bases through 11 games.

APRIL 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Kolten Wong - Sitting versus lefty Wong is not in the starting lineup Friday against the Rockies.

Impact Sam Haggerty will play second base and bat eighth with left-hander Austin Gomber on the mound for Colorado. Tommy La Stella is also sitting.
