Gabe Speier - Rehab appearances set Speier (shoulder) emerged from throwing live batting practice Petco Park on Tuesday feeling healthy and will make rehab appearances Thursday and Monday, MLB.com reports.
Impact Speier will actually kick off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma in Albuquerque on Thursday before moving down to the Mariners' Arizona Complex League team for Monday's outing. If both appearances go well, Speier will likely be activated ahead of Seattle's first series coming out of the All-Star break against the Astros, which begins July 19.

Dylan Moore - Grabs 16th steal Wednesday Moore went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a win over the Padres on Wednesday.
Impact Moore delivered one of the Mariners' four singles on the night and also continued inching closer to surpassing the career-high 21 steals he recorded in both 2021 and 2022 by swiping his 16th bag of the campaign. Moore has also hit safely in four consecutive starts, but his .213 average still leaves plenty to be desired.

Andrés Muñoz - Earns 15th save Munoz earned a save against the Padres on Wednesday, walking two and striking out two over 1.1 scoreless innings.
Impact Munoz struck out Jurickson Profar with two outs in the eighth inning and worked around two walks in the ninth to secure his 15th save of the season. The righty has yielded just one earned run over his past 10 appearances and is 15-for-17 in save chances this season. He owns a 1.45 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 45:16 K:BB over 37.1 innings.

Bryce Miller - Throws six scoreless in win Miller (7-7) earned the win against the Padres on Wednesday, allowing five hits and no walks while striking out one over six scoreless innings.
Impact Miller worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the second inning and then cruised from there despite generating just six swinging strikes on 80 pitches. This was the righty's first quality start since June 12, but he has now yielded two earned runs or fewer in five of his past six outings. He will take a 3.63 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 98:29 K:BB into the All-Star break.

Jonatan Clase - Back in majors The Mariners recalled Clase from Triple-A Tacoma on Wednesday.
Impact He's taking the roster spot of the injured Dominic Canzone (groin) and could see some playing time in the outfield with Canzone banged up. Clase has struggled in his brief time with the big club, producing a .406 OPS over 35 plate appearances.

Dominic Canzone - Placed on IL with adductor strain The Mariners placed Canzone on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a right adductor strain.
Impact Canzone initially suffered the injury during Sunday's contest versus the Blue Jays while making a catch and then aggravated while running in Tuesday's game against the Padres. He will be eligible to return shortly after the All-Star break, but it's uncertain whether Canzone will be ready for activation at that time.

Victor Robles - Contributes as in-game replacement Robles entered Tuesday's win over the Padres as a defensive replacement for Dominic Canzone (groin) in the bottom of the fifth inning and went 1-for-2 with an RBI double.
Impact Robles initially slotted into Canzone's right field spot before shifting to center in the bottom of the eighth. The veteran doubled home Cal Raleigh in the ninth inning for the final run of the night as well, and he could be in line for some spot starts if Canzone needs some down time due to his injury.

Jorge Polanco - On base three times in win Polanco went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a win over the Padres on Tuesday.
Impact It was a rare multi-hit effort for the struggling veteran, who'd last accomplished that feat on May 4. Polanco had been mired in a 1-for-12 skid over the previous four games entering Tuesday, a brief but nightmarish stretch where he'd struck out in eight of his 14 plate appearances. Polanco's season slash line still stands at a career-worst .196/.288/.289, and with the sample size now having grown to 219 plate appearances, it's fair to wonder how much improvement it will realistically see over the remainder of the season.

Cal Raleigh - Two more homers in Tuesday's win Raleigh went 3-for-5 two two-run homers, a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Padres.
Impact The switch-hitting Raleigh was able to accomplish hitting a home run from both sides of the plate Tuesday night. He began with a two-run blast in the third from the left side and then matched it with a two-run shot from the right side in the seventh to put the Mariners up 7-0. Raleigh has just 62 hits this season and is hitting .210, but 17 of those have gone for home runs, leading to 55 RBI, which is tied for second amongst catchers. Raleigh has never been a guy to hit for much average but has always made up for it in the power department. His 74 home runs since the beginning of 2022 lead all catchers in the MLB and his 17 homers this season are the most by a Mariners' catcher before the All-Star break. The 27-year-old is slashing .210/.295/.414 and is on pace for career-highs in home runs and RBI.

Julio Rodríguez - Triple shy of cycle in win Rodriguez went 4-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Padres.
Impact Rodriguez began his night with an RBI single in the first inning and later added onto to the Mariners' lead with a towering blast to left that landed in the second deck. Rodriguez doubled in the seventh for his fourth hit of the night, and eventually was replaced in the eighth inning as a precautionary move with the team up big since he's been dealing with a quadriceps injury. Rodriguez is on a mini heater at the dish, tallying eight hits in his last 16 at-bats after a cold finish to June. For the year, he's slashing .256/.354/.658 with nine homers, 32 RBI, 43 runs and a 22:101 BB:K in 381 plate appearances.
