Julio Rodríguez - Back in action Rodriguez (ankle) is batting fourth and playing DH Friday at Pittsburgh.

Impact Rodriguez tweaked his right ankle Wednesday and was held out of the starting lineup for Thursday's contest. However, he'll return to the lineup for the series opener against Pittsburgh. The 23-year-old is slashing .263/.313/.371 across 425 plate appearances this season.

Yimi García - Gets 13th hold Thursday Garcia recorded his 13th hold in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday, allowing an earned run on a walk over two-thirds of an inning.

Impact Garcia issued an inning-opening walk to Austin Meadows in the eighth before retiring the final two batters he faced, but Andres Munoz subsequently surrendered a two-run home run to Javier Baez that allowed Meadows to cross the plate. Garcia has now been charged with a combined three earned runs over the last two days and five overall in his last five appearances, a stark contrast to the four straight scoreless one-inning outings he opened his Mariners tenure with.

Dylan Moore - New career high in steals Moore went 0-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

Impact Moore took advantage of his one time on the basepaths to record his 22nd steal of the campaign, a new career high. The versatile veteran finished July on a six-game hitting streak, but his bat has gone cold in August to the tune of a .118/.268/.147 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate across 41 plate appearances (11 games).

Victor Robles - Rings up 17th steal Robles went 1-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in a loss to the Tigers on Thursday.

Impact Robles provided the Mariners' only extra-base hit of the day out of the leadoff spot and added his 17th stolen base of the campaign when swiped third following the fifth-inning two-bagger. Despite Thursday's production, it's been a quiet month for Robles' once-hot bat thus far, as he's carrying a .116 average and .354 OPS across his last 11 games after a multi-hit effort that included a home run in the first game of August.

Andrés Muñoz - Blown save, loss vs. Tigers Munoz (2-4) took the loss Thursday against Detroit, allowing one run on one hit while picking up a strikeout in one-third of an inning.

Impact Munoz entered in the eighth inning, tasked with protecting a 1-0 lead with two outs and a runner on third. He'd proceed to give up a two-run homer to Javier Baez, sticking him with a blown save and the eventual loss. Munoz hadn't allowed a run in 14.1 innings prior to Thursday-- he'd given up just one hit in that span. His ERA now sits at 1.35 with a 0.92 WHIP and 57:20 K:BB across 46.2 innings while converting 18 of 22 save chances this year.

Bryce Miller - Excellent again in no-decision Miller didn't factor into the decision in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers. He allowed just two hits while striking out nine over seven scoreless innings.

Impact Miller was dominant Tuesday, though he'd ultimately come away with a no-decision after the Mariners' bullpen gave up two runs in the eighth. The 25-year-old right-hander has delivered 13 scoreless innings over his last two starts, allowing just five hits while striking out 15 in that span. Overall, Miller is 9-7 this year with a 3.29 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 128:31 K:BB across 139.2 innings. He'll have a tougher matchup in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week on the road against the Dodgers.

Collin Snider - Takes second loss Wednesday Snider (2-2) took the extra-inning loss against the Tigers on Wednesday, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk while recording one strikeout over one-third of an inning.

Impact Snider allowed a game-winning double to pinch hitter Akil Baddoo just three hitters into his 10th-inning stint on the mound. The right-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 10 appearances, although he's invited some trouble by allowing at least one hit in six of those outings and issuing a free pass in three of them as well. Nevertheless, Snider's impressive swing-and-miss stuff seems to get him out of jams more often than not, as he boasts a 10.1 K/9 across 24 innings this season.

Mitch Haniger - Squeezed out of lineup Haniger is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

Impact Haniger had started in all but two of the Mariners' previous 18 games, but he'll hit the bench Thursday and looks like he could be at risk of losing hold of his near-everyday role with both Dominic Canzone and Julio Rodriguez recently making returns from the injured list. Canzone will start in right field Thursday, while Rodriguez is out of the lineup after aggravating a right ankle injury Wednesday, though the Mariners don't believe the 23-year-old will have to return to the IL. Assuming Rodriguez is back in action in short order as the Mariners' primary designated hitter, Haniger may have to settle for the short side of a platoon in the outfield with the lefty-hitting Canzone.

Julio Rodríguez - Sitting out Thursday Rodriguez (ankle) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Rodriguez had to depart Wednesday's contest with a right ankle issue, which is the same injury he just returned from this past weekend. The Mariners don't seem to believe it's a serious setback for Rodriguez, but he'll receive at least one day of rest. Victor Robles is in center field and Justin Turner is at designated hitter for Thursday's series finale.

AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE

Bryan Woo - Strong start wasted Wednesday Woo came away with a no-decision in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss to the Tigers, scattering four hits over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six without walking a batter.

Impact The right-hander put together another brilliant performance, generating 29 called or swinging strikes among his 85 pitches, but Woo wound up settling for his third straight quality start and seventh of the season when his bullpen couldn't get the job done. Through three outings in August, he's delivered a 1.31 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 19:1 K:BB through 20.2 innings, and he seems fully recovered from the hamstring issues that began bothering him in late June. Woo will face a tough test in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Dodgers.
