Manuel Margot - Delivers homer, stolen base SundayMargot went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a stolen base and a walk in a 2-1 loss Sunday in Seattle.

ImpactMargot reached base in his final three plate appearances, singling and stealing second in the fifth, knocking a solo blast off Erik Swanson in the eighth and being intentionally walked in the 10th. The outfielder has hit safely in all eight games in May, producing a .464/.500/.929 with three home runs in that span.

George Kirby - Stellar in debutKirby struck out seven and allowed four hits in six scoreless innings in a 2-1 win Sunday over Tampa Bay. He did not factor into the decision.

ImpactKirby was excellent in his major-league debut, allowing just four baserunners and retiring 10 straight at one point. The 23-year-old was efficient, facing just three batters over the minimum and needing 81 pitches to throw six innings. The righty was promoted from Double-A Arkansas and appears to be taking over the fifth spot in the Mariners' rotation with the demotion of Matt Brash. Across 115.1 minor-league innings since 2019, he's amassed a 2.34 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with a 137:20 K:BB ratio.

Ryan Yarbrough - Five scoreless inningsYarbrough struck out four in five scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk in a 2-1 loss Sunday in Seattle. He did not factor into the decision.

ImpactYarbrough scattered four singles and pitched efficiently, tallying 68 pitches through the five frames. It was his first start and second appearance of the season after beginning the campaign on the injured list (groin). The start was vastly different from his first outing when he allowed five runs over 2.1 innings. His next appearance will likely be next weekend against Toronto and it's not yet known if he'll serve as the starter or follow an opener.
