Andrés Muñoz - In midst of dominant stretch Munoz, who garnered his 16th hold in a win over the Rangers on Friday, has allowed just one hit and boasts a 12:3 K:BB across the 5.2 scoreless innings covering his last five appea...
Impact Munoz also has three holds and a save during that span, giving fantasy managers in formats that value relievers a significant boost overall. The fireballing right-hander has a 2.72 ERA and 0.93 WHIP for the season, and although Paul Sewald is doing a solid job in the closer's role for the time being, Munoz certainly has the stuff to step into the highest-leverage situations if called upon.

Adam Frazier - Eventful night in win Frazier went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk and two runs in a win over the Rangers on Friday.
Impact Operating out of the No. 7 spot in the order, Frazier delivered one of three multi-hit efforts for the Mariners. The veteran came into the night mired in a 3-for-27 slump that had encompassed his previous seven contests, although the .130 BABIP he was saddled with during that span certainly didn't help matters.
AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Mitch Haniger - Three-hit night in win Haniger went 3-for-5 with a run in a win over the Rangers on Friday.
Impact The hot-hitting outfielder produced his second three-hit effort of the last four games in the win while also extending a hitting streak whose origins predate his extended IL stay due to an ankle injury. Haniger has hit safely in nine consecutive games overall, and he pushed his season slash line to an excellent .298/.344/.544 with Friday's fruitful night.

Taylor Trammell - Reinstated, sent down Trammell (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.
Impact Trammell was sidelined since late June due to a hamstring injury, but he's been on a rehab assignment for the last few weeks. He slashed .367/.424/.633 with two home runs, two doubles, six runs, two RBI and a stolen base over eight rehab games and will remain in the minors now that he's back to full health.
AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
George Kirby - Picks up fourth win Kirby (4-3) gave up two earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a 6-2 victory over the Rangers on Friday.
Impact Kirby looked comfortable pitching on the road in Arlington, giving up only a couple of runs on a sacrifice groundout and single before coming out of the game having thrown 83 pitches. The rookie right-hander has shown impeccable control since entering the big leagues. Kirby boasts a 7.2 K/BB, having struck out 86 batters in 85 innings pitched while only issuing 12 walks. The Mariners are intent on monitoring Kirby's use down the stretch, so his upside is likely going to be limited by a pitch count going forward. He is tentatively expected to make his next start at the Angels.
AUGUST 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Julio Rodríguez - Reaches base three times in return Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a walk in a 6-2 win over the Rangers on Friday.
Impact Rodriguez returned to the lineup after missing close to two weeks with a wrist contusion. The Mariners immediately felt the impact of their rookie leadoff hitter, who reached base three times en route to a victory over their division rivals. Rodriguez's two-RBI single in the fourth gives him 59 RBI on the season to go along with a solid slash line of .274/.337/.482.

Ken Giles - Designated for assignment Giles (shoulder) was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Friday.
Impact Giles made his Mariners debut in late June and tossed 4.1 scoreless innings over five appearances before sustaining a shoulder injury. He spent the last month recovering and posted a 3.60 ERA and 0.80 WHIP in five innings over five rehab appearances. While the right-hander is back to full health, he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him become a free agent if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Jesse Winker - Back in action Friday Winker (back) is starting in left field and batting cleanup Friday against the Rangers, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact The 28-year-old sat out the past two games after leaving Monday's contest with back spasms, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Friday's series opener after Seattle had a scheduled day off Thursday. Winker is 5-for-18 with two home runs, five RBI, five runs and a 9:5 BB:K through seven games in August.

Luis Torrens - Cast off roster Torrens was designated for assignment Thursday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact Torrens showed flashes at the plate in 2021, but he struggled to a .214/.262/.252 line across 141 plate appearances prior to losing his roster spot this season. Curt Casali -- who the Mariners acquired at the trade deadline -- was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and should serve as the backup catcher to starter Cal Raleigh.
AUGUST 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jarred Kelenic - Headed back to minors Kelenic was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact Kelenic was recalled by the Mariners on July 31, though he hit just .074 with two RBI and two runs scored across 27 plate appearances since. He also struck out 11 times as he continues to struggle making contact in the majors. It's too early to fully write off the former top prospect, but Kelenic has hit just .167/.246/.329 across his first 500 plate appearances at the big-league level. Julio Rodriguez (wrist) was activated from the injured list in the corresponding move.

Mariners reinstate All-Star Julio Rodríguez from 10-day IL
The Seattle Mariners reinstated All-Star center fielder Julio Rodríguez and catcher Curt Casali from the 10-day injured list ahead of a lengthy road tripAUGUST 12, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Curt Casali - Activated from injured list Casali (oblique) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact Casali was dealt to the Mariners at the trade deadline but has yet to make his debut with the team. Cal Raleigh is likely to remain the top catcher for Seattle, though Casali will get plate appearances as the backup after Luis Torrens was designated for assignment. Across 126 plate appearances on the season, Casali is hitting .231/325/.370.

Julio Rodríguez - Activated from injured list Rodriguez (wrist) was activated from the injured list Thursday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Impact Rodriguez spent a near minimum stint on the injured list with a wrist contusion. He didn't experience pain after hitting in the cage Wednesday and is set to return as the Mariners' leadoff hitter Friday against the Rangers. Jarred Kelenic was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma in the corresponding move.
