Julio Rodríguez - Tracking toward brief IL stintMariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Rodriguez (back) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Oct. 3, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

ImpactRodriguez was placed on the IL on Friday due to the lower-back strain, but he already appears to be making positive strides in his recovery. The star rookie still has a few more hurdles to clear before the Mariners confirm he'll be ready to go for its final series of the regular season, but Rodriguez looks like he'll be worth stashing in redraft leagues that have another lineup period next week. The Mariners conclude their regular season with a four-game set versus Detroit, and Rodriguez could play in all of those games if playoff positioning is at stake.

Eugenio Suárez - Set to return TuesdayMariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said Suarez (finger) will likely be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Ryan Divish of The Sea...

ImpactSuarez was placed on the IL on Sept. 17 due to a small fracture in the tip of his right index finger, but after he was able to take swings without any discomfort over the past few days, he looks like he'll be ready to go when Seattle kicks off a three-game series with Texas on Tuesday. Dipoto noted that Suarez will likely serve as the Mariners' designated hitter Tuesday, so expect Carlos Santana to head to the bench for that contest.

MLB Power Rankings: Can anyone challenge the Dodgers and Astros?

Richard Lovelady - Returns from Tommy John surgeryLovelady (elbow) was reinstated from Double-A Northwest Arkansas' 60-day injured list Sept. 18 and struck out two over a scoreless inning in his 2022 debut for the affiliate.

ImpactLovelady made a remarkably quick recovery from the Tommy John surgery he required last September, making his return to game action exactly 12 months later. After the strong showing at Northwest Arkansas, Lovelady was bumped up to Triple-A Omaha last week. He struck out four over two scoreless innings between his first two appearances at Omaha.

Erik Swanson - Takes second loss SundaySwanson (2-2) took the loss against the Royals on Sunday, allowing two runs on three hits over one-third of an inning.

ImpactSwanson was also charged with his second blown save of the season in what was his second straight loss, blowing an 11-8 lead by allowing a pair of RBI singles and a two-run double. Swanson's stumbles are exceedingly rare during a season in which he's been one of manager Scott Servais' most reliable bullpen options -- he's still carrying a 1.85 ERA and 0.95 WHIP alongside an 11.7 K/9 despite the recent struggles.

Ty France - Keeps up hot hitting SundayFrance went 3-for-5 with a two-run single, a double and a run in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.

ImpactFrance's bat caught fire over the weekend, as he'd also authored a three-hit effort Saturday that included another two-bagger. The 28-year-old owns a .345 average (10-for-29) with eight RBI over his last seven games, a stretch during which he's hit .375 with men on base.

J.P. Crawford - Productive out of leadoff spotCrawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run single, two walks and a run in a loss to the Royals on Sunday.

ImpactCrawford made plenty of noise out of the top of the order in the wild defeat, hitting safely for the third straight game since returning from a one-game absence due to some lower-body injuries. He has eight total bases and three RBI over that span while replacing the sidelined Julio Rodriguez (back) in the leadoff spot, where the veteran shortstop figures to remain for the balance of the regular season.
