Isaiah Campbell - Grabs save in season finaleCampbell allowed a hit and struck out one over one scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 1-0 win over the Rangers.
ImpactCampbell picked up his first save of his career in the final game of 2023. He allowed four runs over his last 10 innings, concluding the campaign with a 2.83 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33:13 K:BB over 28.2 innings while adding two holds and a 4-1 record. Campbell should be able to compete for a bullpen spot in 2024.

George Kirby - Finishes year in fine formKirby (13-10) allowed three hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over six shutout innings to earn the win Sunday versus the Rangers.
ImpactWhile the Mariners came up short in pursuit of a playoff spot, Kirby still took the hill and turned in a gem for his final start of the year. He won his last three starts of the campaign, allowing just three runs over 19 innings in that span. The 25-year-old right-hander ends 2023 with a strong 3.35 ERA as well as a 1.04 WHIP and 165:19 K:BB over 190.2 innings across 31 starts. His 0.9 BB/9 was by far the best among qualified starters this season -- Tampa Bay's Zach Eflin was next closest with a 1.2 BB/9.

Dane Dunning - Unlucky loss SundayDunning (12-7) allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Mariners.
ImpactDunning was working on short rest, but it was the Rangers' lack of offense Sunday that led to the loss. The only run in the 1-0 game came after Dunning loaded the bases in the fourth inning and Martin Perez allowed an inherited runner to score on a groundout. Dunning had two quality starts and four outings with mixed results over his last six starts of the regular season, and he'll end with a 3.70 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 140:55 K:BB through 172.2 innings across 35 appearances (26 starts). The right-hander likely won't be available for a start in the wild-card round versus the Rays.
