Robbie Ray - Yields three homers in loss Ray (12-12) allowed six runs (five earned) on eight hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 5.2 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Athletics.

Impact Ray started off well enough in this one, but he yielded homers to Shea Langeliers, Cristian Pache and Nick Allen between the fourth and sixth innings. This was the third time all year Ray's allowed three homers in a game, and he's given up multiple long balls in three of his last five outings. The southpaw didn't come close to matching his Cy Young season from a year ago, ending the 2022 regular season with a 3.71 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 212:62 K:BB and 32 homers allowed across 189 innings through 32 starts. The Mariners will likely be counting on him to get things sorted out in his next start, which is expected to be during the wild-card round.

Julio Rodríguez - Set to return Monday The Mariners plan to activate Rodriguez (back) from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Tigers, Shane Lantz of the Seattle Times reports.

Impact Manager Scott Servais expects Rodriguez to take plenty of swings Sunday, and the rookie should return to action for the final few games of the regular season. The Mariners have already clinched a playoff berth, so the 21-year-old's late-season activation will allow him to get some work in ahead of the wild-card round.

Carlos Santana - Productive at plate in win Santana went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and two runs in a win over the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact Santana provided a key early hit for the Mariners with his first-inning RBI single, which plated Dylan Moore to erase an early 1-0 deficit. The veteran's ugly .196/.312/.376 slash line is naturally a concern overall, but he's now reached safely in seven of his last eight games.

Sam Haggerty - Drives in three Saturday Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a two-run single and a sacrifice fly in a win over the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact Haggerty maximized his plate appearances with some timely hitting, providing three of the five runs on the night for Seattle. The utility asset's bat had been cold of late, but his versatility and solid offensive season overall should give him a good chance of garnering a postseason roster spot once the Mariners begin their wild-card series.

Adam Frazier - Swipes two bags during win Frazier went 1-for-4 with two steals in Saturday's victory over the Athletics.

Impact Frazier stole both second and third base during this contest, both against lefty starter JP Sears and catcher Stephen Vogt. The second baseman has hit poorly over his last 15 games with a .159 average and .205 slugging percentage over 44 at-bats.

Luis Castillo - Allows one run in win Castillo (4-2) earned the win Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out eight.

Impact Castillo allowed an RBI single from Jordan Diaz to open the scoring in the first inning but was otherwise without blemishes. The righty has been inconsistent over his last 10 starts, allowing four runs or more three times and one run or fewer five times. The 29-year-old's 2.99 ERA during 2022 is the best of his six-year career.

Matt Brash - Gets fourth win Friday Brash (4-4) got the win over the Athletics on Friday, firing a scoreless ninth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

Impact Brash was exceedingly sharp while getting seven of his eight pitches in for strikes, and he was rewarded with his fourth win of the season when Cal Raleigh slugged a pinch hit home run that sent the Mariners home with a win and an AL wild-card berth. Except for one stumble against the Royals on Sept. 25, Brash has been nearly flawless since mid-August, turning in scoreless efforts in 18 of his 19 trips to the mound during that span.
