Victor Robles - Agrees to $9.75M contract extension The Mariners signed Robles to a two-year, $9.75 million contract extension Monday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The deal also contains a $9 million club option for 2027 and features $2 million in bonuses and escalators. Robles was released by the Nationals in June but quickly caught on with the Mariners and has resurrected his career, slashing .303/.372/.450 with three home runs and 12 stolen bases in 42 games. He had been set to reach free agency this offseason but will remain in Seattle for a while longer.

Jorge Polanco, Leo Rivas win Play of the Week | 08/12/2024 Jorge Polanco and Leo Rivas win Play of the Week with a sensational 4-6-3 double play against the Mets

AUGUST 12 • MLB.COM

Troy Taylor - Impressive in big-league debut Taylor fired a scoreless ninth inning in a win over the Mets on Sunday, allowing a walk and recording two strikeouts.

Impact The precocious rookie was impressive in his big-league debut, which came after a promotion straight from Double-A Arkansas. Taylor wrapped up his first frame in the majors in signature fashion, recording swinging strikeouts of Luis Torrens and Tyrone Taylor to close out Seattle's 11-run victory. Taylor's above-average ability to miss bats earned him plenty of high-leverage work at Arkansas thus far this minor-league season, but his initial assignments in the majors will likely continue to be of the low-leverage variety.

Teddy McGraw - Makes pro debut McGraw (elbow) has made two starts for Single-A Modesto since being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Aug. 4, striking out five batters over 3.2 innings while allowing two ea...

Impact McGraw had spent the entire 2024 campaign on the IL for the Mariners' rookie-level Arizona Complex League affiliate, but with the ACL season coming to an end in late July, he was moved up to Single-A for his professional debut. A third-round draft pick in 2023, McGraw didn't pitch at all last summer while he recovered from the internal brace procedure on his elbow he had underwent earlier that spring during his time at Wake Forest. The right-hander looks to be healthy again, but he could need some time to hone his command and control while he works his way back from the second major elbow operation of his career. He previously underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019.

J.P. Crawford - Begins throwing Sunday Crawford (finger) did light tossing out to 60 feet before Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, MLB.com reports.

Impact It marked the first time the recovering infielder was able to throw since going on the injured list July 23. Crawford had been engaging in infield fielding practice since Aug. 2 as well, so a return before the end of the month, even when factoring in a rehab assignment, could be within the range of outcomes.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Canzone - Productive in return to lineup Canzone went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run in a win over the Mets on Sunday.

Impact Canzone started in right field, his first time back in the opening lineup since being activated from the injured list Friday. The outfielder commemorated the occasion by swatting his first extra-base hits since July 9, but with Randy Arozarena arriving at the deadline and Victor Robles working himself into a regular outfield role while Canzone was on the shelf, the latter's prospects for regular playing time are murky at the moment.

Cal Raleigh - Swats two homers Raleigh went 3-for-5 with two homers, a walk and five RBI in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Impact Raleigh opened the game up with a two-run blast in the fourth off Luis Severino to make it a 4-0 lead for the Mariners. He then completely put the game out of reach with a three-run homer against Adam Ottavino in the sixth. Both home runs came on the first pitch of his respective at-bats. Raleigh has now reached 25-plus home runs in three straight seasons and is the first catcher to do that since Mike Piazza had eight consecutive seasons from 1995-2002. Following Sunday's performance, Raleigh now leads all catchers with a 3.6 fWAR. For the year, Raleigh is slashing .217/.310/.448 with 26 homers, 76 RBI, 52 runs and a 50:134 BB:K in 449 plate appearances.

Julio Rodríguez - Forgetful day in return to lineup Rodriguez (ankle) went 0-for-5 with five strikeouts in his return to the lineup during Sunday's win over the Mets.

Impact Rodriguez missed just under three weeks with a high-ankle sprain before being activated prior to Sunday's game. Fortunately, the Mariners were able to put up 11 runs despite his ugly day at the plate. While Rodriguez was deemed ready to return physically, it seems as though he's got some rust to shake off at the plate. The 23-year-old is slashing .260/.311/.368 with 11 homers, 37 RBI, 45 runs, 18 steals and a 24:117 BB:K in 418 plate appearances.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Jorge Polanco - Goes deep Sunday Polanco went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win over the Mets.

Impact Polanco opened up the scoring with a solo home run in the second inning off Luis Severino. He later doubled and scored in the sixth and singled in the eighth for his second three-hit effort of the season. Coming into Sunday, Polanco had just three hits in 22 at-bats this month while striking out eight times over that span. He's currently striking out at a 31.1 percent clip this year, which would be the highest mark of his career and the first time he's ever had a strikeout rate north of 30 percent. It's been a struggle for Polanco in his first year in Seattle, as he's slashing .211/.292/.352 with 11 homers, 30 RBI, 31 runs, three steals and a 30:99 BB:K in 318 plate appearances.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Luis Castillo - Another dominant effort in win Castillo (10-11) got the win over the Mets on Sunday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine over six innings.

Impact Castillo was engaged in a pitcher's duel with Luis Severino heading into the fifth inning before the Mariners were able to provide him with some cushion on the scoreboard. The lone run against him came on a sixth-inning solo home run by Jeff McNeil. Castillo racked up nine strikeouts for a second straight start and went on a run in the game during which he struck out five consecutive batters. He's now recorded seven straight quality starts while allowing one or fewer runs four times. Castillo owns a 3.40 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 148:40 K:BB in 148.1 innings and will look to keep rolling in a matchup with the Pirates over the weekend his next time on the mound.
