Justin Upton - Remains on bench Wednesday Upton isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Orioles.
Impact Upton went 2-for-16 with an RBI, three walks and nine strikeouts over his last five games and will be on the bench for a second consecutive matchup. Sam Haggerty is taking over in right field with Abraham Toro serving as the designated hitter.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tom Murphy - Transferred to 60-day IL Murphy (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact Murphy's move to the 60-day IL is simply procedural, as the Mariners announced last week that the catcher will require season-ending shoulder surgery. Luis Torrens (shoulder) landed on the 10-day IL on Monday, so Andrew Knapp is on the active roster to serve as the primary backup to Cal Raleigh behind the plate.

Marcus Wilson - Gets first big-league call-up The Mariners selected Wilson's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Impact Wilson will receive his first MLB call-up of the season in the wake of fellow outfielder Taylor Trammell straining his right hamstring in Tuesday's win over the Orioles and subsequently landing on the 10-day injured list. The 25-year-old slashed .209/.336/.469 with 12 home runs and eight stolen bases across 238 plate appearances with Tacoma. He has the ability to play all three outfield spots and is expected to serve as a bench piece for Seattle.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Padlo - Sent down Wednesday Padlo was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Impact Padlo started in just two games during his time on the Mariners' active roster, and he'll head to the minors after Seattle traded for Carlos Santana on Monday. Over 42 games at the Triple-A level this year, the 25-year-old has slashed .240/.329/.487 with 10 homers, 26 runs, 25 RBI and seven stolen bases.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Sam Haggerty - Back from Triple-A The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Impact The addition of Haggerty, who has played second base, shortstop and all three outfield spots between the majors and minors this season, will give Seattle some more versatility off the bench. The Mariners optioned corner infielder Kevin Padlo to Triple-A to clear room on the active roster for Haggerty.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Trammell - Placed on 10-day injured list Trammell (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.
Impact Trammell was removed from Tuesday's game against Baltimore due to a right hamstring strain, and the issue will force him to miss at least a week and a half. He was sidelined for over a month due to a similar injury while playing at Triple-A Tacoma in April, but it's not yet clear how much time he'll miss during his current IL stint.

Diego Castillo - Rings up fifth win Tuesday Castillo (5-1) recorded the win in a victory over the Orioles on Tuesday, firing a scoreless eighth inning during which he hit a batter and recorded a strikeout.
Impact Castillo played his setup role to near perfection, plunking Robinson Chirinos but still working out of the frame unscathed to preserve a scoreless tie at the time. Castillo was then rewarded for his 12th scoreless effort in his last 13 appearances when Jesse Winker plated a pair of runs with a double in the home half of the frame. Castillo is now 4-1 over his last five decisions, and his ERA (4.67) and WHIP (1.15) sit at their lowest figures since April 30 and April 24, respectively.

Jesse Winker - Plates only runs Tuesday Winker went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.
Impact Winker, who is appealing his seven-game ban for his role during a benches-clearing brawl against the Angels on Sunday, came through with a two-bagger in the eighth inning that snapped a scoreless tie. The veteran outfielder is enjoying an impressive close to June after starting the month mired in a deep funk, as he's hitting .400 (10-for-25) with three doubles, two home runs and eight RBI across the 33 plate appearances covering his last eight games.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Mazza - Catches on with M's Mazza signed a minor-league contract with the Mariners on Monday.
Impact Mazza didn't take much time to find a new organization after he elected free agency last week when the Rays remove him from their 40-man roster. Prior to moving on from Tampa Bay, Mazza appeared in two games for the big club and gave up seven earned runs on nine hits and six walks over 5.1 innings. He's expected to report to Triple-A Tacoma as he begins his tenure with the Mariners.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Drew Ellis - Sent down to Triple-A The Mariners optioned Ellis to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Impact Ellis was dropped from the 26-man active roster to make room for first baseman/designated hitter Carlos Santana, whom the Mariners acquired from the Royals on Monday. During his three-day stay with Seattle, Ellis appeared in one game and went 1-for-3.

Julio Rodríguez - Three hits in win Rodriguez went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Orioles.
Impact Rodriguez, whose appeal for a suspension stemming from Sunday's benches-clearing brawl versus the Angels, made an impact as the only Mariner with multiple hits Tuesday. He was aboard when Jesse Winker hit a two-run double for the only run-scoring play in this contest. Rodriguez has posted a trio of three-hit efforts in his last 12 games, going 17-for-47 (.362) in that span. Overall, the outfielder is slashing .276/.337/.452 with 11 home runs, 19 stolen bases, 35 RBI, 40 runs scored and 15 doubles through 75 contests.

Paul Sewald - Converts seventh save Sewald struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Orioles.
Impact Sewald has converted three saves in a row, and he's gone four innings since he last allowed a baserunner. He's now 7-for-9 in saves while adding four holds, a 3-2 record, 2.60 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB through 27.2 innings. The 32-year-old's grip on the closer role is getting increasingly tight, though Mariners manager Scott Servais is known to employ a committee approach.

Mariners get spark late in 2-0 victory over Orioles Robbie Ray allowed just one hit in seven shutout innings and Jesse Winker's two-run double in the eighth provided all the runs.

Robbie Ray - Dominant in no-decision Ray allowed a hit and three walks while striking out eight over seven innings in a no-decision versus the Orioles on Tuesday.
Impact Ray extended his streak of starts without allowing more than one run to four with another dominant performance, arguably his best of the year. He nearly got into trouble in the fourth inning, but he was able to escape having two runners in scoring position without giving anything up. The southpaw trimmed his ERA to 3.78 with a 1.14 WHIP and 105:34 K:BB across 97.2 innings overall. Ray lines up for a favorable home start versus the Athletics this weekend as he looks to carry his strong pitching from June into July.

Taylor Trammell - Managing hamstring strain Trammell left Tuesday's game against the Orioles with a right hamstring strain, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.
Impact He suffered the injury while failing to beat out a double play with the bases loaded during the fourth inning, and he didn't take the field for the following frame. Trammell suffered a similar injury to the same hamstring while with Triple-A Tacoma in April, which sidelined him for over a month.
JUNE 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taylor Trammell - Leaves with apparent injury Trammell was removed from Tuesday's game against the Orioles with an apparent leg injury, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact The 24-year-old hit into double play with the bases loaded to end the fourth inning, and he pulled up with an injury as he reached first base. Trammell dealt with a hamstring injury in the minors earlier this year, though it's unclear if he aggravated that injury or if he's dealing with a separate issue.
