Gregory Santos - Exits early Wednesday Santos was removed from Wednesday's game against the Angels due to an apparent injury, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact Santos was called for a balk in the eighth inning and looked to be in pain immediately afterward, prompting a visit from a trainer and the right-hander's eventual removal. It isn't immediately apparent what is bothering him, but the Mariners should have more information on his status following the game.

Felnin Celesten - Down again with wrist injury Celesten aggravated a wrist injury in his first game back with with Mariners' Arizona Complex League affiliate on Wednesday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Celesten missed more than a month of action with the wrist issue and then had it flare up again on a dive back into first base on a pickoff attempt. The 18-year-old also missed the entire 2023 campaign with a hamstring injury. He's shown off his top prospect pedigree this year when healthy, slashing .352/.431/.568 over 32 games.

Matt Brash - Set to begin throwing next month Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that Brash (elbow) will begin a throwing program in mid-August, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Brash underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery May 8 but looks to be progressing well in the early stages of his rehab. He shed a protective brace on his elbow a little over a month ago and will take the first meaningful step forward in his recovery when he begins throwing in a few weeks. If he continues to experience no setbacks with his throwing program late in the season and throughout the offseason, Brash could be ready to face hitters by the end of spring training, but he'll still almost certainly open the 2025 campaign on the injured list.

Julio Rodríguez - Unlikely to return in minimum time Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that Rodriguez (ankle) will be re-evaluated around Aug. 1, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact Rodriguez will be eligible to return from the 10-day injured list Aug. 1, but the Mariners are off that day before starting a three-game series with the Phillies on Aug. 2. Based on Hollander's comments, Rodriguez doesn't sound like he'll be able to take part in baseball activities over the next 10 days before he's re-evaluated, so the 23-year-old would seem to be unlikely to be cleared for the series with the Phillies. Rodriguez was diagnosed with a right high-ankle sprain after suffering the injury while leaping into the outfield wall in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Astros. Victor Robles has drawn three straight starts in center field in Rodriguez's stead.

J.P. Crawford - Likely to miss 4-to-6 weeks Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that Crawford (finger) is expected to be sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Impact Crawford fractured his right pinkie finger when he was hit by a pitch in Monday's game against the Angels and will require significant down time while the digit heals. The Mariners have used Dylan Moore at shortstop in both of their two games without Crawford, and Moore should continue to hold down the position for the next several weeks.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Dominic Canzone - Trending toward mid-August return Mariners general manager Justin Hollander said Wednesday that Canzone (adductor) is expected to return from the 10-day injured list around the middle of August, Shannon Drayer of S...

Impact The target return date Hollander offered up more or less aligns with comments from manager Scott Servais over the weekend, when the skipper said Canzone was a couple weeks away from starting a rehab assignment. Canzone has been on the shelf since July 10 with a right adductor strain, an injury he sustained three days earlier while making a diving catch against the Blue Jays. Victor Robles had been seeing reps in right field following Canzone's placement on the shelf, but with Robles likely to be needed in center field more frequently after Julio Rodriguez (ankle) landed on the IL on Tuesday, Mitch Haniger and Cade Marlowe look to be the main candidates to pick up starts in right.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Mitch Haniger - Playing time rising Haniger will start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Haniger will pick up his fourth start in five games, with two coming against lefties and two coming against righties. The 33-year-old has gone 1-for-7 with five strikeouts and two walks since the All-Star break and is holding down a career-worst .615 OPS on the season, but he could nonetheless be in store for an uptick in playing time while the Mariners are down three regulars due to injury (Julio Rodriguez, J.P. Crawford and Dominic Canzone) in addition to recently moving struggling everyday first baseman Ty France off the 40-man roster.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Dylan Moore - Settling in at shortstop Moore will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Moore will make a fifth consecutive start and his second straight at shortstop, which will likely be his primary home for the foreseeable future while J.P. Crawford is on the shelf with a fractured hand. Though his 28.7 percent strikeout rate has played a major part in suppressing his batting average (.206), Moore brings an intriguing blend of pop and speed to the table. Despite not being a full-time player throughout the season, Moore has already tallied eight home runs and 17 stolen bases over his 286 plate appearances.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Mitch Garver - Losing playing time Garver is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

Impact Garver is in the midst of a rough stretch at the plate, having gone hitless with eight strikeouts in his last five starts and 2-for-29 with a 32.4 percent strikeout rate over his past eight games. The ongoing slump looks to have cost him a regular spot in the lineup, as Garver will miss out Wednesday on the Mariners' third straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Griffin Canning). Jason Vosler will get a second straight start at designated hitter and may have overtaken Garver as the Mariners' preferred option for the time being.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Jason Vosler - Productive in Mariners debut Vosler slotted in at designated hitter in Tuesday's 5-1 loss to the Angels and went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a run.

Impact The new arrival delivered the only extra-base hit for the Mariners on another anemic night for the team's offense. Vosler, along with fellow Triple-A callups Tyler Locklear and Cade Marlowe, was one of three new faces in Seattle's lineup Tuesday, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to carve out a regular role for the short term while the team deals with the absences of Julio Rodriguez (ankle) and J.P. Crawford (finger) while also managing the recent release of Ty France.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Cade Marlowe - Reaches twice in '24 debut Marlowe, called up from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, went 1-for-2 with a walk in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact Marlowe was making his 2024 big-league debut and started in right field as part of the domino effect of Julio Rodriguez's (ankle) placement on the injured list. The 27-year-old Marlowe posted a solid .239/.330/.420 slash line across his first 100 major-league plate appearances a season ago, and he'd been having a relatively solid season with Tacoma from an OBP perspective (.341) while also dazzling to the tune of 43 stolen bases. However, strikeouts have been a fairly persistent issue for Marlowe throughout his pro career, so it remains to be seen if that will continue to serve as a drag on his overall numbers against the highest level of competition.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Tyler Locklear - Singles in majors return Locklear, summoned from Triple-A Tacoma earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 in a loss to the Angels on Tuesday.

Impact Locklear is expected to be given an extended look at first base following the jettisoning of Ty France, and the promising prospect was able to get on safely in his first big-league plate appearance since June 20. Consistent contact was an Achilles heel for Locklear, as it is for many rookies, during his first tenure with the Mariners this season, so the fact he struck out in two of his other three plate appearances Tuesday is a reminder he still has plenty of work to do in that regard.

JULY 24 • ROTOWIRE

Logan Gilbert - Hurt by five-run fifth inning Gilbert (6-6) took the loss to the Angels on Tuesday, allowing five runs (one earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out eight over 6.2 innings.

Impact Gilbert retired the first 12 batters he faced before things completely unraveled in the fifth. He would allow three base hits in the inning, but two throwing errors extended things and played a part in the Angels tacking on all five of their runs in the frame. Still, it was the third straight start Gilbert has gone over six innings, a span during which he's compiled a 24:2 K:BB in 21.1 innings. Gilbert also only has one win over his last five starts despite posting four quality starts over that timeframe. He now has a 2.72 ERA (fifth lowest in MLB) and an 0.86 WHIP (lowest in MLB) to compliment a 132:26 K:BB in 139 innings and lines up to face the Red Sox on the road to begin next week.
