Anthony Misiewicz - Takes first loss Tuesday Misiewicz (0-1) was charged with the loss in a defeat at the hands of the Athletics on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits and two walks over one inning.
Impact Misiewicz got out of a two-on, two-out jam upon entering in the sixth inning by getting Jed Lowrie on a fielder's choice to end the frame, and he also induced a flyout and popup from Chad Pinder and Seth Brown, respectively, to open the seventh. However, the left-hander ultimately gave up run-scoring hits to Elvis Andrus and Luis Barrera that snapped a 5-5 tie. After generating three holds, a 1.86 ERA and 1.03 WHIP across his first 12 appearances of the season, Misiewicz has now surrendered five earned runs across his most recent three trips to the mound.

J.P. Crawford - Multi-hit effort in loss Crawford went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Impact Crawford's second multi-hit effort in the last four games pushed his season average back over the .290 mark (.291) after a brief two-game dip. The veteran shortstop has reached safely in nine of the last 12 games, but he still sports just a .213 average and .530 OPS in that span.

Jesse Winker - Scores twice in loss Winker went 2-for-5 with two runs in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Impact The Mariners' first loss to the Athletics in 14 games was a mixed bag for Winker, who was productive out of the leadoff spot but also committed a fielding error that allowed the go-ahead run to score in the seventh inning. Winker's current .219/.310/.300 slash line is still falling well below expectations based on his previous body of work, but he's shown a bit more life at the plate recently by reaching safely in 10 of his last 11 games.

Ty France - Drives in three Tuesday France went 1-for-3 with a two-run double, an RBI groundout and a walk in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Impact France pushed his RBI total to 31 over 44 games with his productive night, one that also included his 16th extra-base hit. The 27-year-old has now hit safely in three straight and five of the last six overall, pushing his stellar season slash line to .330/.399/.489.

Julio Rodríguez - Goes deep again Tuesday Rodriguez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.
Impact The star rookie unloaded his second round tripper at T-Mobile Park in as many days, a 355-foot shot to left that plated Jesse Winker to erase a 4-3 deficit in the fifth inning. Rodriguez has three of his five round trippers on the season in the last six games, a stretch during which he's hitting .346 (9-for-26).

Kyle Lewis - Two hits in '22 debut Lewis (knee) went 2-for-4 in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday, a game that marked his 2022 debut.
Impact Lewis finally logged major-league game action after completing his recovery from June 2021 knee surgery. The talented outfielder wasted no time breaking the ice at the plate after a productive rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and he should be a near-everyday fixture in the Mariners lineup moving forward barring any setbacks.

Impact With Kyle Lewis (knee) making his return from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and serving as Seattle's designated hitter, Ford's time as a regular in the Mariners lineup looks to be over. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the third game in a row.

George Kirby - Whiffs nine in no-decision Kirby didn't factor into the decision during Tuesday's 7-5 loss to Oakland, allowing four runs on eight hits with nine strikeouts in five innings.
Impact Kirby was decent Tuesday in striking out an impressive nine batters while allowing four total runs in three different innings. The 24-year-old has shown promise through four starts with a 19:2 K:BB ratio though he's now surrendered nine runs across his last 10 innings. Kirby will go for his first win early next week against Baltimore.

Danny Young - Returns to minors Young was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Corey Brock of The Athletic reports.
Impact Young has spent most of the past three weeks in the majors but has appeared in only two games, during which he gave up three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts and two walks over 3.2 innings. The left-hander will return to Tacoam, where he has a 7.00 ERA in nine games.

Kyle Lewis - Batting seventh in return to action Lewis (knee) was activated off the injured list Tuesday and will bat seventh and serve as the designated hitter against Oakland, Larry Stone of the Seattle Times reports.
Impact The Mariners brought Lewis along cautiously as he finished his recovery from knee surgery, a procedure he underwent in June of last year, but he's ready to go after hitting .314/.415/.629 with three homers in 10 rehab games for Triple-A Tacoma. Expect him to appear frequently as the designated hitter early on to protect his health, though he could eventually find most of his work in an outfield corner, as Jesse Winker doesn't offer much on the defensive side.
