Ken Giles - Lands on injured list Giles was placed on the 15-day injured list due to tightness behind his right shoulder, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact Giles suffered the injury during Friday's win over the Blue Jays and was quickly placed on the injured list. He's managed just eight innings since the 2019 season due to a combination of Tommy John surgery, a finger sprain and now his most recent issue. There's no timetable for Giles' return, though he'll be sidelined until at least late July.

Erik Swanson - Away on paternity leave Swanson was placed on the paternity list Saturday, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

Impact Swanson will be away from the team for a few days to be with his infant daughter. He'll likely return Tuesday against the Nationals. Matt Brash and Matt Festa were recalled Saturday to replace Swanson and Ken Giles, who landed on the injured list with shoulder tightness.

Chris Flexen - Denied two-start week Flexen is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday in Washington against the Nationals rather than in Sunday's series finale with the Blue Jays in Seattle, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com...

Impact After getting the Independence Day start against the Padres, Flexen appeared primed for a two-start week, but the Mariners instead used Wednesday's off day to reorder their rotation. Logan Gilbert, who started in Tuesday's 6-2 win over San Diego, will instead get the two-start week while he takes the hill Sunday on his normal four days' rest.

Ryan Borucki - Impressive for first win Borucki (1-0) nabbed the win in an extra-innings victory over the Blue Jays on Friday, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout.

Impact Borucki earned every bit of his first win -- which notably came against his old squad -- turning in a highly efficient outing that saw him pound 14 of his 21 pitches into the strike zone. The 28-year-old southpaw was rewarded for his pristine effort Friday when Eugenio Suarez walked it off with a three-run home run in the bottom of the 11th, and Borucki has now turned in eight scoreless appearances in his last nine trips to the mound, including five straight.

J.P. Crawford - Swings hot bat again Friday Crawford went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and a run in an extra-innings win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

Impact Crawford came through with a man on again, as his third-inning two-bagger plated Julio Rodriguez to snap a 1-1 tie. The veteran shortstop has delivered some timely hits of late and now boasts a six-game hitting streak that dates back to June 28.

Ken Giles - Pulled due to tightness Giles exited Friday's extra-innings win over the Blue Jays with tightness in the back of his shoulder after retiring the first batter he faced in the eighth inning, the Associated...

Impact The oft-injured veteran had just started his fifth appearance of both the season and since 2020 at the big-league level before he had to exit with a trainer in midst of facing Santiago Espinal. Giles has overcome Tommy John surgery and a tendon injury on his right middle finger over the last two years, and it remains to be seen how serious a setback Friday's developments represent.

Eugenio Suárez - Walks it off Friday Suarez went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored in Friday's 5-2 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.

Impact Suarez delivered the biggest hit of the contest, a walkoff blast in the 11th inning for his 15th homer of the year. He's seeing the ball well in July -- he's gone 9-for-27 (.333) with two homers and a double in his last seven contests. The third baseman's recent surge has him up to a .243/.334/.447 slash line with 44 RBI, 41 runs scored and 17 doubles through 84 contests.

George Kirby - Yields 10 hits Kirby allowed two runs on 10 hits and a walk with four strikeouts in 4.1 innings Friday, taking a no-decision versus the Blue Jays.

Impact The 10 hits Kirby allowed marked a season high for the rookie right-hander, but only two of them went for extra bases. He did fairly well with damage control, as the two runs on his line were on RBI singles from Lourdes Gurriel and Teoscar Hernandez. It's a little concerning Kirby's failed to complete five innings in two of his last three starts. He has a 3.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 62:9 K:BB through 64.1 innings. He'll look to show more command in a projected road start against the Rangers next week.

Luis Torrens - Begins rehab assignment Torrens (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Torrens has been on the injured list since June 27 but took batting practice ahead of Thursday's game against the Blue Jays. Since he's returning to game action in the minors Friday, it seems likely that he'll be able to return from the IL this weekend or early next week.

Cal Raleigh - Resting Friday Raleigh will sit Friday against Toronto.

Impact The Mariners rotated their three catchers heavily early in the season, but Raleigh has handled a very heavy workload lately with Luis Torrens and Tom Murphy both out with shoulder injuries. Raleigh started nine of the last 10 games heading into Friday's contest, but it will be Andrew Knapp behind the plate Friday.

Carlos Santana - Another multi-hit effort Thursday Santana went 2-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Impact The veteran handled cleanup duties and came through with one of three multi-hit efforts for the Mariners on the night. Santana has been quite the find offensively for Seattle thus far, producing a trio of two-hit tallies in the last five games and generating a solid .276 average and stellar .400 on-base percentage over the 35 plate appearances he's logged across his first nine contests with the team.

Ty France - Singles in return from IL France (elbow), activated from the injured list earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 in a win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Impact One of the Mariners' most valued offensive assets was encouragingly back in the lineup after overcoming a Grade 2 flexor strain and wasted no time getting his first hit. France had hit safely in five of the seven games prior to his sabbatical as well, so perhaps the layoff didn't serve to cool off his bat too much.

JULY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Moore - Belts fifth homer Moore went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Impact Moore made some noise out of the bottom of the order with a 350-foot shot to left in the second inning to extend the Mariners' lead to 3-1 at the time. The slugging utilityman has now laced 10 of his 22 hits on the season for extra bases, and he's shown plenty of life at the plate of late with a .316/.480/.737 slash line over his last seven games.
