Impact Trammell was making his 2022 big-league debut and managed to make an impact by coming around to score on Adam Frazier's sixth-inning home run after drawing a walk to open the frame. The 24-year-old is aiming to significantly improve on a rough introduction to major-league arms last season, one that included a .160 average and .615 OPS across 51 games.

Struggling Mariners make roster moves; Toro to IL

Recalled, starting Sunday Trammell was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma and is starting in right field and batting ninth Sunday against the Red Sox.
Impact The 24-year-old missed out on the Opening Day roster and appeared in three games for Tacoma before landing on the minor-league injured list, but he's now healthy and will join the major-league roster. Trammell made his MLB debut in 2021 and had a .160/.256/.359 slash line and 42.1 percent strikeout rate in 51 games, and he'll need to perform better this year if he's to retain a roster spot. Kyle Lewis (knee) is expected to return from the injured list Monday and Justin Upton, who signed with Seattle on Saturday, is set to join the team in the near future, so Trammell will likely have a short window to illustrate he should remain in the big leagues.

Beginning season at Triple-A The Mariners optioned Trammell to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
Impact Trammell broke camp with the big club in 2021, but after turning in a .160/.256/.359 slash line with a 42.1 percent strikeout rate across 178 plate appearances in multiple stints with Seattle, he didn't see any action with the Mariners after mid-July. Though his production at Tacoma was much better (.818 OPS, 22.9 K% in 323 plate appearances), he didn't mash at a level that made him a strong candidate to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster this time around. Trammell will thus return to Tacoma to begin the 2022 campaign, and his odds of getting an extended look in the majors will likely dim further once the Mariners are ready to give top prospect Julio Rodriguez a look in the big leagues.

Fletcher has 4 hits, streak at 24 games; Angels drop M's 7-1
David Fletcher had four hits and four RBIs to extend his hitting streak to 24 games, and the Los Angeles Angels beat the Seattle Mariners 7-1JULY 12, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Optioned to Triple-A Trammell was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma prior to Sunday's game against the Angels, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.
Impact The move comes as little surprise as Trammell was absent from the starting lineup during five of the last six games while being in the midst of a 4-for-34 skid at the plate. Still considered one of the Mariners' top prospects, Trammell will look to work things out in Tacoma as he tries to earn his way back to the big leagues later this season.

Appears to be losing time Trammell remains out of the starting lineup Friday against the Angels.

Cracks two homers in suspended game Trammell went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo home runs and two walks across both of the Mariners' games against the White Sox on Sunday.
Impact The first of the two games was a continuation of Saturday's contest, which was suspended midway through the third inning. The lefty-hitting Trammell provided both of his home runs in the resumed portion of that game, with his first long ball coming off a lefty (Dallas Keuchel) and his second coming off standout closer Liam Hendriks and breaking a 2-2 tie. In addition to propelling the Mariners into the lead, Trammell made a key defensive play in the bottom of the ninth, flagging down a Jake Lamb line drive to deep left center that could have scored the potential game-tying run. Trammell had looked to be at risk of losing work in the outfield to Shed Long earlier last week, but with starts in three of the Mariners' last four games and a pick showing Sunday, the 23-year-old appears to have at least temporarily regained some job security.

Cranks sixth homer Trammell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Rockies.
Impact Trammell struck out in his other two at-bats, but he did manage to slug his sixth homer of the season in the sixth inning. It was his second long ball since being recalled June 1, though he's hit only .161 with four RBI and seven runs scored in that span. In order to improve his production, Trammell will have to improve upon his disastrous 41.4 percent strikeout rate.
