SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS

Victor Robles - Pair of hits in loss Robles went 2-for-3 in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

Impact Robles drew the start in right field with Dominic Canzone (groin) starting the second half of the season on the IL, and the veteran contributed the only multi-hit effort of a very quiet night for Mariners bats. Robles has proven a steady contributor when given the opportunity since his arrival in Seattle, now boasting a stellar .382 average and 1.050 OPS with five extra-base hits (out of 13 total) in 39 plate appearances. With Canzone still some time away from returning, Robles could continue earning starts at the expense of the struggling Mitch Haniger if he continues to produce at the plate.

Luis Castillo - Quality start in loss Castillo (8-10) allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over seven innings, taking the loss Friday versus the Astros.

Impact All of the scoring came in the third inning, where Castillo allowed five straight batters (three hits, one walk, one hit-by-pitch) to reach base. While he was decent and efficient, needing just 90 pitches (58 strikes) to get through seven frames, the Mariners' offense once again came up cold. Castillo has logged three straight quality starts in July and now sits at a 3.55 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 119:35 K:BB through 124.1 innings over 21 starts this season. He's projected for a favorable home start versus the Angels in his next outing.

Mike Baumann - DFA'd by Seattle The Mariners designated Baumann for assignment Friday.

Impact The move corresponds with Seattle reinstating left-hander Gabe Speier (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list. Baumann was acquired by the Mariners from the Orioles on May 22 after being initially DFA'd by Baltimore. Across his 18 outings with Seattle, Baumann has posted a 5.51 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 16.1 innings. He could garner interest from teams looking to add right-handed depth to the bullpen.

Gabe Speier - Returns from IL The Mariners reinstated Speier (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

Impact A left rotator cuff strain sent Speier to the injured list in the beginning of June, and he'll now return to the Mariners' bullpen after throwing two shutout innings during his rehab assignment. The 29-year-old reliever posted a 6.06 ERA and 1.47 WHIP across 16.1 frames before getting hurt, so he'll likely be limited to middle relief as he re-adjusts to facing major-league hitters. Mike Baumann was DFA'd in a corresponding move.

Gabe Speier - Scoreless rehab inning Monday Speier (shoulder) started the ACL Mariners' loss to the ACL Giants on Monday, firing a scoreless inning during which he allowed a hit and did not record any walks or strikeouts.

Impact Speier got through the opening frame with minimal trouble while completing his second scoreless inning in as many rehab outings. The left-hander completed the first installment of his assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, and previous reports indicated Speier was likely to be activated ahead of the start of the second half of the season Friday if Monday's appearance didn't produce any setbacks.
