Impact Moore will be making his fourth consecutive start Sunday, but his run as an everyday player could come to an end beginning with Monday's game in San Diego. Sunday marks the final contest of J.P. Crawford's four-game suspension, and he should immediately take over as the Mariners' everyday shortstop to begin the upcoming week.

Julio Rodríguez - Swipes 20th bag Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus Oakland.

Impact There was little offense on either side in the contest, but Rodriguez provided a highlight with his first-inning single and stolen base. Per Hector Gomez of Z101Digital.com, the rookie phenom joined Barry Bonds as the only players in MLB history to tally at least 13 homers, 15 doubles and 20 thefts through their first 79 MLB games. Rodriguez was recently crowned the AL Rookie of the Month for June, marking the second straight month that he received that honor.

Justin Upton - First Mariner homer comes in clutch Upton hit a solo home run in his only at-bat against the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact Upton didn't start the contest, but he was brought in as a pinch hitter with Seattle down a run in the eighth inning. The veteran chose a good time to hit his first long ball as a member of the Mariners, going deep to left field to tie the score. It was just the second extra-base hit this season for Upton, who has struggled with a .152/.282/.273 slash line through 39 plate appearances.

George Kirby - Fans nine in no-decision Kirby didn't factor in the decision against Oakland on Saturday despite allowing just one run over seven innings. He gave up three hits and one walk while striking out nine.

Impact Kirby fell behind by a run in the first inning but held Oakland scoreless the rest of the way, retiring 16 of the final 17 batters he faced. The right-hander racked up 15 swinging strikes and tied his career high with nine punchouts, but he had to settle for a no-decision since Seattle wasn't able to get on the scoreboard until the eighth frame. This was a strong bounce-back outing for Kirby after he allowed a career-worst seven runs over four innings in his previous start. He is putting together a standout rookie campaign, posting a 3.75 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 58:8 K:BB over 60 frames.

Jesse Winker - Ban reduced, starting Saturday Winker, who is in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Athletics, has had his suspension reduced to six games, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Winker was initially issued a seven-game suspension for his role in a brawl during last Sunday's game against the Angels, but he had his punishment reduced by one matchup following his appeal. Since he's starting in left field and batting second Saturday, he presumably won't begin to serve his suspension until at least Sunday.

Marco Gonzales - Suffers ninth loss Gonzales (4-9) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk with two strikeouts in six innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Athletics.

Impact Gonzales pitched fairly well in his fourth straight quality start, but the Mariners' bats couldn't give him much help. The southpaw gave up RBI singles in the fifth and sixth innings. This was the second time in eight starts he was able to keep the ball in the yard. Gonzales owns a 3.29 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 49:32 K:BB across 87.2 innings in 16 starts. He's projected for a home start versus the Blue Jays next week.

Jesse Winker - Keeps producing Thursday Winker went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact Winker produced one of two multi-hit efforts of the night for Seattle, pushing his season slash line to an uneven .235/.353/.351. The 28-year-old is still awaiting word on his appeal of the suspension he received for igniting an ugly brawl against the Angels on Sunday, and he's now boasting a .412/.524/.706 slash line with 12 extra-base hits across his last 10 games.

Abraham Toro - Drives in two Thursday Toro went 1-for-3 with an RBI groundout, a run-scoring single and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact Toro drove in the first run of the game in underwhelming fashion, sacrificing a run in on a double play groundout in the first inning. His fifth-inning single then plated Jesse Winker to snap a 4-4 tie and give the Mariners a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Toro has now reached safely in six straight games, an encouraging span during which he's produced a .333 average and .961 OPS across 20 plate appearances.

Cal Raleigh - Knocks cover off ball Thursday Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a double, a two-run triple and a run in a win over the Athletics on Thursday.

Impact The young backstop continued to display his season-long penchant for squaring up on the ball Thursday, racking up his 18th and 19th extra-base hits of the campaign. Considering Raleigh has just 29 hits overall and still carries a .199 average, 283 on-base percentage and 30.1 percent strikeout rate, it's clear the 25-year-old is a true feast-or-famine option.
