SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS

Sam Haggerty - Retreats to bench Haggerty is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Haggerty had started two of the past three games in the corner outfield, but he'll lose out on a spot in the lineup with Jesse Winker back in action Tuesday after completing his six-game suspension. The Mariners will be without center fielder Julio Rodriguez on Tuesday while he serves a one-game suspension, but manager Scott Servais will tab Adam Frazier to replace the 21-year-old All-Star in the outfield rather than Haggerty. Beginning with Wednesday's series finale in Washington, the Mariners will likely deploy an everyday outfield of Winker, Rodriguez and Dylan Moore through the All-Star break, resulting in Haggerty moving into a full-time reserve role.

Julio Rodríguez - Begins serving one-game suspension Rodriguez won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Nationals, as he'll serve a one-game suspension stemming from his role in a June 26 benches-clearing brawl with the Ange...

Impact Rodriguez was initially handed a two-game ban from Major League Baseball, but it was reduced to one game Sunday following a successful appeal, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. Since Rodriguez was one of three Mariners suspended during the June 26 incident, the team was allowed to stagger the suspensions. With J.P. Crawford and Jesse Winker having now served four- and six-game bans, respectively, it'll be Rodriguez's turn to take a seat. The 21-year-old All-Star should be back in center field for Wednesday's series finale in Washington.

Jesse Winker - Suspension ends The Mariners reinstated Winker on Monday after he completed his six-game suspension.

Impact One of three Mariners players handed a suspension for his role in a June 26 benches-clearing brawl with the Angels, Winker was initially handed a seven-game ban before it was reduced to six following an appeal. He ended up missing the entirety of the Mariners' six-game slate last week, but he should be ready to reclaim an everyday role in left field or at designated hitter in the final week before the All-Star break.

Jacob Barnes - Cast off 40-man roster Barnes was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Monday.

Impact Barnes joined Seattle's major-league roster Saturday but didn't make any appearances over the last two games. He'll lose his place on the 40-man roster after Erik Swanson (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list.

Erik Swanson - Reinstated from paternity list Swanson (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Monday.

Impact Swanson was away from the team for a few days following the birth of his daughter, but he'll rejoin the Mariners after spending just two days on the paternity list. Jacob Barnes was designated for assignment by Seattle to make room on the active roster.

Noelvi Marte - Major offensive surge at High-A Marte owns a .447/.553/.895 slash line with two doubles, five home runs, 12 RBI, eight walks, four stolen bases and 18 runs across the 47 plate appearances he's logged in his last...

Impact The sensational stretch represents a drastic turnaround for Marte, who'd generated a much more modest .234/.330/.377 tally over his first 63 games of the season. The 20-year-old could certainly see a bump up to the Double-A level before season's end if he continues to demonstrate mastery over High-A arms.

Matt Festa - Grabs first win Sunday Festa (1-0) recorded the win over the Blue Jays on Sunday, firing a perfect eighth inning in which he recorded a strikeout.

Impact The right-hander threw eight of his 10 pitches for strikes during his one frame, which marked his first majors appearance since June 16. Festa now has six straight scoreless efforts at the big-league level, a span in which he's also generated a 7:2 K:BB across five innings and allowed only two hits.

Justin Upton - On base twice Sunday Upton went 1-for-2 with a walk and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Impact Upton drew the start in left field and had a reasonably productive day from the No. 8 spot in the order. The veteran outfielder had most recently been in the lineup last Monday, and he hadn't hit safely in a start since June 25.

George Kirby - Set to rejoin rotation after break Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that Kirby will be called up from Triple-A Tacoma following the All-Star break to rejoin the big-league rotation, Jen Mueller of Root Sport...

Impact Rather than due to any dissatisfaction with Kirby's performance, the Mariners elected to demote the rookie right-hander over the weekend as a means of keeping his innings in check. According to Servais, Kirby is expected to make an abbreviated start Saturday for Tacoma before making his return to the majors. The Mariners estimate that the decision to demote Kirby at this point in the calendar will save about 10 innings off his season total for 2022. Between stops with the Mariners and Double-A Arkansas this season, Kirby has thus far covered 89 frames.

Kyle Lewis - Slated for outfield work in rehab Lewis (concussion) is scheduled to shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Tacoma this week and is expected to make regular starts in the outfield, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact According to Kramer, the Mariners have already ruled out activating Lewis from the 7-day injured list prior to the All-Star break, but the 26-year-old is trending toward being ready to go when the big club opens its second-half schedule July 22. Through the first five games of his rehab assignment -- which has included one game with Tacoma and four with High-A Everett -- Lewis has served exclusively as a designated hitter while going 4-for-10 with three home runs and two walks.
