Austin Voth - Dominant for 12th hold Voth secured his 12th hold in a win over the Rays on Wednesday, firing 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded three strikeouts.
Impact Voth put on a clinic in efficiency, requiring only 15 pitches to record his four outs. The veteran right-hander has been a largely steady hand for the Mariners' bullpen all season, with Wednesday's performance lowering his ERA and WHIP to 3.02 and 0.93, respectively, across 53.2 innings while also affording him his first hold in exactly one month.

J.P. Crawford - Reaches, scores in IL return Crawford, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run in a win over the Rays on Wednesday.
Impact The veteran shortstop slotted into the leadoff spot in his return from a fractured pinkie finger and was able to make an impact during his one trip on the basepaths. Crawford had gone just 1-for-12 over his first four post-All-Star-break games upon getting hurt, so he'll undoubtedly need to snap out of that funk soon to retain his place atop the order, especially with its most recent occupant, Victor Robles, exponentially outperforming him offensively.

Victor Robles - Stays hot with Wednesday's homer Robles went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Rays on Wednesday.
Impact Robles was booted from his usual leadoff spot to the bottom of the order Wednesday, but he shrugged off the lineup slotting by belting his fourth homer of the season and generating his fifth multi-hit effort since Aug. 17. The veteran outfielder has been quite the find for the Mariners since signing in early June, producing a .293 average, .790 OPS, 14 extra-base hits, 13 RBI, 16 steals and 19 runs across 53 games while filling in at multiple outfield spots defensively.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Julio Rodríguez - Connects for 12th homer Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Rays on Wednesday. He was also caught stealing for the fifth time this season.
Impact Rodriguez's first home run since July 20, a 356-foot shot to left with J.P. Crawford aboard in the fifth inning, extended the Mariners' lead to 5-1 at the time. The round tripper was the highlight of Rodriguez's first multi-hit effort since Aug. 16 and helped snap the 1-for-27 skid he'd entered the game mired in. Despite some intermittent stretches of production at the plate this season, the talented outfielder's .253/.308/.362 slash line has Rodriguez on track to regress in all three categories for the second consecutive campaign.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Randy Arozarena - Belts 18th homer Arozerena went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Rays.
Impact The Mariners broke the game open with a three-homer barrage in the fifth inning off Tyler Alexander, with Arozarena's blast following long balls from Victor Robles and Julio Rodriguez. Arozarena has a modest five-game hitting streak going, but through 23 games in August he's batting just .225 (18-for-80) with two of his 18 homers and four of his 20 steals on the season.
AUGUST 29 • ROTOWIRE
Luis Castillo - Solid in 11th win Castillo (11-12) picked up the win Wednesday, giving up two runs on six hits and two walks over 5.2 innings in a 6-2 victory over the Rays. He struck out four.
Impact The 31-year-old right-hander left the mound after 97 pitches (60 strikes) just short of his 18th quality start of the season, but it was still a solid performance from Castillo. In eight starts since the All-Star break, he's posted a 3.94 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 51:11 K:BB through 48 innings. Castillo will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Oakland.

Mariners reinstate J.P. Crawford from injured list, option Dominic Canzone
The Seattle Mariners reinstated shortstop JAUGUST 28 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Mitch Haniger - On bench Wednesday Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact With Cal Raleigh getting a day off behind the plate but staying in the lineup at designated hitter, the Mariners won't have a spot available for Haniger. The 33-year-old should crack the lineup more often than not when the Mariners face left-handed pitching, but Haniger's opportunities to pick up starts against righties may be more sporadic, especially now that Julio Rodriguez is able to play the outfield again coming off a right ankle injury.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Leonardo Rivas - Sitting in Crawford's return Rivas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact Rivas had started each of the last seven games at shortstop while batting .348 and getting on base at a .400 clip, but his playing time is likely to dwindle after top shortstop J.P. Crawford (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. At least for the time being, Rivas will stick around as a backup middle infielder, but he could be a candidate to return to Triple-A Tacoma if the Mariners want to open up regular at-bats for him.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Justin Turner - Returning to bench Wednesday Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact After going 3-for-15 at the dish while starting in each of the Mariners' last four contests, Turner will head to the bench for the series finale. Three of Turner's previous four starts came against left-handed pitchers, and the Mariners are seemingly viewing him as more of a short-side platoon player at this stage of his career.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Rojas - Heading to bench Wednesday Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Impact The Rays are sending right-hander Drew Rasmussen to the mound to open the game, but with lefty Tyler Alexander likely to enter the contest after him as a bulk reliever, the lefty-hitting Rojas will hit the bench. Dylan Moore will cover third base in Rojas' stead.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
Dominic Canzone - Loses roster spot The Mariners optioned Canzone to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Impact Canzone had started just seven of 18 games since coming off the injured list earlier this month and went just 3-for-26 at the plate over that stretch. With Julio Rodriguez able to play center field again and Victor Robles sliding over to right field, Canzone's playing time was likely only going to dwindle further had he stuck around with Seattle.
AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE
J.P. Crawford - Reinstated from injured list The Mariners activated Crawford (finger) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact It was reported earlier this week that Crawford would likely need at least one more rehab game with Triple-A Tacoma, but he came out of a simulated game Monday well and the Mariners have decided to go and and reinstate their starting shortstop. Crawford has been out since late July with a hairline fracture of his right pinky finger.
