Taylor Trammell - Slugs fourth homer Trammell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Angels on Saturday.

Impact After the Mariners were baffled by Shohei Ohtani for seven innings, Trammell was able to break through for Seattle's only run of the game in the eighth with a 442-foot shot to right field off reliever Jaime Barria. The 25-year-old has found playing time pretty sparse since his Sept. 1 callup, as he's logged just 16 plate appearances across eight games; Saturday's homer was his first hit over that span.

George Kirby - Whiffs eight in loss Kirby (7-4) took the loss during Saturday's 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Angels, allowing two runs on four hits and one walk with eight strikeouts in six innings.

Impact Kirby permitted single runs in the first and fourth innings which turned out to be enough for the loss as Seattle only managed one run on a Taylor Trammell solo home run in the eighth. The 24-year-old faced the minimum in his other four frames while the eight strikeouts match his second highest total over his last 11 turns. Prior to Saturday's loss, Kirby had won five of his last seven starts and possesses an impressive 2.03 ERA with 50 strikeouts across 44.1 innings in his last eight turns. He carries a 2.98 ERA and 1.12 WHIP into his next start, currently scheduled to come midweek.

Julio Rodríguez - Scratched with back tightness Rodriguez was scratched from Saturday's lineup against the Angels with lower-back tightness, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact He was scratched moments before first pitch, so perhaps Rodriguez injured his back during pregame warmups. For now he should be considered day-to-day.

Julio Rodríguez - Scratched Saturday Rodriguez was a late scratch from Saturday's lineup against the Angels.

Impact Taylor Trammell took his place in center field after Rodriguez was on the original lineup card. Given the timing of the report, we won't get word of Rodriguez's status until after the game, unless there is an in-game release from the team.

Mitch Haniger - Set to return Sunday Haniger (back) is expected to start Sunday against the Angels, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Haniger hasn't played since leaving last Sunday's contest against Atlanta with lower-back tightness, but his absence won't stretch on for much longer. He tested his back while swinging and running prior to Friday's game against the Angels and evidently felt fine, as he may even make an appearance as a pinch hitter Saturday.

Dylan Moore - Returns from injury Moore (oblique) was activated off the injured list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact Moore had been out since late August with a right oblique strain, but he's good to go after just a single rehab game. He isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels but could be called on frequently in the near future, as Eugenio Suarez (finger) landed on the injured list in a corresponding move.

Eugenio Suárez - Out with broken fingertip Suarez was placed on the 10-day injured list with a small fracture in the tip of his right index finger, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

Impact Suarez's initial X-rays were inconclusive after he left Friday's game against the Angels due to the injury, but a fracture has since been found. The Mariners believe he may be able to return as a designated hitter after the minimum 10 days, per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, but it may take longer until he's able to throw. Abraham Toro starts at third base Saturday against the Angels in his absence, while Dylan Moore (oblique) was activated off the injured list to take Suarez's place on the roster.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Mitch Haniger - Remains sidelined Haniger (back) remains on the bench Saturday against the Angels.

Impact Haniger left Sunday's game against Atlanta with tightness in his lower back and hasn't seen the field since. It's still not clear exactly when he'll return, though he was at least able to swing and run prior to Friday's series opener. Sam Haggerty will be the right fielder Saturday.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eugenio Suárez - Not in Saturday's lineup Suarez (finger) isn't starting Saturday against the Angels.

Impact Suarez sustained an injury to his right index finger while fielding a ground ball during Friday's series opener against the Angels, and he underwent X-rays that were inconclusive. He'll take a seat for at least one game while Abraham Toro starts at the hot corner and bats ninth.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Cal Raleigh - Returns to lineup Raleigh (thumb) is starting Saturday against the Angels.

Impact Raleigh sat out Friday's series opener due to a jammed left thumb, but he'll start at catcher and bat fifth a day later. Over his last five games, he's gone 2-for-18 with a run, a walk and seven strikeouts.

Dylan Moore - Single, steal in first rehab game Moore (oblique) went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in Triple-A Tacoma's loss to Las Vegas on Friday.

Impact Moore was able to play a full game at shortstop right out of the gate in his rehab assignment, yet another positive sign for his recovery. The 30-year-old may only need another couple of rehab games before being deemed ready for activation, a timeline that would give him plenty of opportunity to get some at-bats in before the start of the postseason.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Eugenio Suárez - X-rays inconclusive Suarez underwent an X-ray on his right index finger that was inconclusive following Friday's game against the Angels, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Suarez sustained his injury while fielding a ground ball in the fourth inning and initially remained in the game, but he was ultimately removed in the fifth. The 31-year-old will likely undergo additional testing Saturday before the Mariners determine his status.

Julio Rodríguez - Pops leadoff homer Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact Rodriguez got the Mariners off to a good start with his leadoff homer in the first inning, but it was all downhill from there for the visitors. He's shown no signs of cooling off in September, as he's hit six of his 27 homers this year during his last 13 games. The rookie outfielder has added 73 RBI, 80 runs scored, 25 stolen bases and a .279/.343/.503 slash line through 126 contests overall.

Ty France - Clubs 19th homer France went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact France helped halve the Mariners' deficit with his seventh-inning blast. He had gone 7-for-43 (.163) with five extra-base hits over 11 games since his last multi-hit effort. The 28-year-old infielder is up to a .277/.341/.443 slash line with 19 homers, 73 RBI, 55 runs scored and 23 doubles through 123 contests. He should be able to handle an everyday role as long as a nagging wrist injury that's cost him some time over the last couple of months doesn't flare up again.

SEPTEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Carlos Santana - Homers twice in Friday's loss Santana went 2-for-4 with two home runs, three RBI and a walk in Friday's 8-7 loss to the Angels.

Impact Santana's pair of blasts got the Mariners within a run each time, but they failed to pull even. He's homered five times in his last six games, accounting for all but one of his hits in that span. The 36-year-old is up to 17 long balls, 52 RBI and 44 runs scored through 113 contests, but he's slashing just .199/.320/.379 between the Mariners and the Royals this year.
