Luis Torrens - Draws first start of seasonTorrens started at catcher in a loss to the Twins on Sunday, going 1-for-3 with a walk and a run.

J.P. Crawford - Stays hot in Sunday's lossCrawford went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.
ImpactCrawford was the only other Mariner besides Mitch Haniger to record an extra-base hit in Seattle's first loss of the season, with his third-inning two-bagger setting him up to subsequently score the team's first run on Adam Frazier's single. The newly-minted shortstop has now reached safely in each of the first three games of the season, drawing a pair of walks in the opener on Friday before singling twice Saturday.

Marco Gonzales - Takes loss against TwinsGonzales (0-1) was tagged with the loss Sunday against the Twins after allowing six runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while fanning one across two innings.
ImpactGonzales didn't have major command issues as 36 of his 61 pitches went for strikes, but he served three homers in just two innings and just couldn't continue on the mound past the first two frames. This wasn't the debut neither the Mariners nor the southpaw were expecting as Gonzales has posted an ERA below the 4.00 mark in each of his last three seasons, but he will try to bounce back when he pitches again -- he's tabbed to start against the Astros on April 15.

The 31-year-old outfielder is coming off a career year where he knocked 39 homers with 110 runs scored and an .804 OPS in 2021.
