Cal Raleigh - Belts 11th homer Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a home run and three total RBI in an 8-3 win over Toronto on Thursday.
Impact Raleigh singled to plate a run in the first inning and followed with a two-run homer to right field in the third. With the performance, he upped his season slash line to .202/.277/.470. The batting average isn't great, but Raleigh is tied for fifth among backstops with 11 homers and has driven in 30 runs in just 55 games.

Eugenio Suárez - Drives in three runs Thursday Suarez went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, two runs and a walk in Thursday's 8-3 victory versus the Blue Jays.
Impact Suarez swatted one of three Seattle homers in the contest, smashing a solo shot to left field to cap the scoring in the fifth inning. Before that, he knocked in a pair of runs with a third-inning single. Suarez has been a solid source of power and run production this season, trailing only rookie phenom Julio Rodriguez for the team lead in homers (14) and RBI (41). His .240 batting average is also a nice improvement after he hovered around the Mendoza Line each of the past two seasons.

Marco Gonzales - Pitches to contact in win Gonzales (5-9) earned the win over Toronto on Thursday, allowing three runs (two earned) on eight hits over 6.2 innings. He did not walk or strike out any batters.
Impact Gonzales surrendered an unearned run in the second inning and two earned runs in the fifth, but he allowed only one extra-base hit (a double) and made it through 6.2 frames on an efficient 88 pitches. Contact was the name of the game for the southpaw in the win -- he notched only two swinging strikes and didn't produce any punchouts for the first time this season. Per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, Gonzales became the first Seattle pitcher in over a decade to toss a quality start without a walk or a strikeout. The veteran's lack of punchouts (he has just 49 over 94.1 innings on the season) is a detriment in fantasy, but he's nonetheless been a useful starter with seven quality starts over his past eight appearances.

Luis Torrens - Nearing rehab assignment Manager Scott Servais said Thursday that Torrens (shoulder) is close to beginning a rehab assignment, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Torrens took early batting practice prior to Thursday's game against the Blue Jays and is close to returning to game action with a minor-league affiliate. If he's able to begin a rehab assignment in the coming days, it's possible that he'll be cleared to rejoin the Mariners shortly before the All-Star break.

Mitch Haniger - Close to ramping up intensity Haniger (ankle) plans to begin more rigorous agility exercises next week, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact Manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday that he hopes Haniger will be back in action by the end of July, and the outfielder is close to taking a significant step in his rehab process. The 31-year-old has been sprinting every three days for just over a week as he continues to build back up. He'll likely require a rehab assignment before he's cleared to rejoin the Mariners.

Ty France - Activated Thursday France (elbow) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.
Impact France sustained a Grade 2 flexor strain in his left elbow in late June but will rejoin the Mariners after spending just over the minimum of 10 days on the IL. The 27-year-old has posted strong results early in the year, slashing .316/.390/.476 with 10 homers, 45 RBI and 32 runs. He should reclaim an everyday role while Abraham Toro and Justin Upton see a decrease in playing time.

Marcus Wilson - Returns to minors The Mariners optioned Wilson to Triple-A Tacoma on Thursday.
Impact Wilson's week-long stint in the big leagues came to an end with first baseman Ty France (elbow) being activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his time with Seattle, Wilson appeared in three games and went 1-for-5 with a walk and a run scored.

Ty France - Set to return for Toronto series General manager Jerry Dipoto said that France (elbow) will be reinstated from the 10-day injured list at some point during the Mariners' four-game series with the Blue Jays and cou...
Impact Before he was diagnosed in late June with a Grade 2 flexor strain of his left elbow, France had made a strong case for his first All-Star nod. In 70 games with Seattle, France compiled a .316/.390/.476 slash line while slugging 10 home runs and driving in 45. Though he hasn't been sent out for a minor-league rehab assignment, France has apparently shown steady improvement during workouts in the last several days and looks to be on the cusp of rejoining the Seattle lineup. Whenever he's officially cleared to play again, France should step into an everyday role at either first base or designated hitter, which will leave fewer opportunities available for the likes of Abraham Toro and Justin Upton.

Kyle Lewis - Hopes to return by end of July General manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday that he hopes Lewis (concussion) will rejoin the major-league club before the end of July, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact Although Lewis recently began a rehab assignment, Dipoto said that the 26-year-old's return from the 7-day injured list isn't yet imminent. Lewis has gone 0-for-3 with an RBI, a walk and two strikeouts while serving as a designated hitter over his first two rehab games with High-A Everett, but the Mariners want to see him get more work in the outfield before he's cleared to rejoin the major-league club.

Mitch Haniger - Could return by end of July General manager Jerry Dipoto said Thursday he hopes Haniger (ankle) will be back in the lineup by the end of July, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Impact The Mariners announced at the end of June that Haniger hadn't yet progressed to running at full speed, but he's been participating in other baseball activities recently. It's not yet clear when the 31-year-old will be able to begin a rehab assignment, but the team hopes that he'll be back in action shortly after the All-Star break.

J.P. Crawford - Hitting well in clutch situations Crawford, who went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple in a win over the Padres on Tuesday, is hitting .333 with a hit-by-pitch, four RBI and four runs with men on base over his last fiv...
Impact The veteran shortstop is also 4-for-10 over his first two games back from suspension when factoring in Tuesday's clutch three-bagger. Crawford could be in the process of authoring his best season at the plate yet, as he's currently sporting a career-high .738 OPS, while his 22 extra-base hits put him nearly halfway to last season's total of 46 in 86 fewer games.
