Top Mariners News

  • Mariners' Ty Buttrey: Assigned to minors camp

    Buttrey was assigned to minor-league spring training Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Buttrey held his own while at big-league camp, surrendering one run on five hits while striking out five over five frames. He'll now set his sights on preparing for the 2024 minor-league campaign and figures to begin the year at Triple-A Tacoma.

  • Mariners' Jonatan Clase: Joining Triple-A Tacoma

    Clase was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Clase enjoyed success while with the big-league club this spring, batting .321 (9-for-28) with two RBI and three stolen bases in 15 games. The 21-year-old continues to progress quickly through Seattle's farm system, as he'll get his first taste of Triple-A after slashing .220/.329/.387 with 12 homers, 50 RBI, 61 stolen bases and 77 runs scored through 108 appearances a season ago at Double-A Arkansas.

  • Mariners' Luis Castillo: Called upon for Opening Day start

    Manager Scott Servais said Monday that Castillo will start the Mariners' March 28 season opener versus the Red Sox at T-Mobile Park, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    The Mariners have better choices than most teams to take the ball Opening Day, but Castillo always loomed as the obvious option. The 31-year-old right-hander posted a 3.34 ERA and 219:56 K:BB over 197 innings covering 33 starts for Seattle in 2023.

  • Mariners' Seby Zavala: Projected to make roster

    Zavala is hitting just .158 across 23 Cactus League plate appearances, but he's nevertheless predicted to make the Opening Day roster by Daniel Kramer of MLB.com.

    The 30-year-old was acquired from the Diamondbacks in a late-November trade to offer some experienced depth at catcher behind Cal Raleigh. The disappointing spring at the plate notwithstanding, Zavala, who holds a career .210 average and .622 OPS over 514 major-league plate appearances, is still slated to spell Raleigh on occasion against right-handed pitching, although Kramer points out the offseason arrival is expected to see less action than Tom Murphy did in that same No. 2 role a season ago.

  • Mariners' Samad Taylor: Solid spring continues Sunday

    Taylor went 1-for-2 with a double, a stolen base and two runs in a Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Taylor pushed his spring average to .286, a solid figure that's accompanied by Sunday's double, two home runs, four RBI, three steals and seven runs. The 25-year-old, a late-January trade acquisition, brings an eclectic skill set that includes some outstanding speed, and he seemingly doesn't have anything left to prove at the Triple-A level after slashing .282/.384/.448 with a 13.5 percent walk rate and modest 21.2 percent strikeout rate across 694 plate appearances there the last two seasons. However, Taylor doesn't make the projected Opening Day roster of Daniel Kramer of MLB.com, implying he could well begin the season at Triple-A Tacoma.

  • Mariners' Gregory Santos: Not yet in rehab routine

    Santos, who suffered a mild lat strain Monday, is still "waiting to get things calmed down" before officially beginning a rehab routine, MLB.com reports.

    The update comes directly from manager Scott Servais, who's counting on Santos to play a key seventh- and eighth-inning role this season. Santos has already been ruled out for Opening Day, however, and it's likely extra caution is taken with the restart date of his baseball activities considering he's also already dealt with a shoulder problem this spring.

  • Mariners' Matt Brash: Recovery remains setback-free

    Brash (elbow) has "picked up his throwing quite a bit" according to manager Scott Servais and could be ready for game action shortly after Opening Day, MLB.com reports.

    Brash has now upped his throwing distance to 110 feet after hitting the 90-foot threshold early in the week. The next step for Brash is to progress to begin throwing off a mound, and once he's successfully completed that phase of his rehabilitation, he's likely to log game action at the minor-league level before being deemed ready to face big-league hitters.

  • Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Hitless in return to action

    Raleigh (heel) started at catcher and went 0-for-3 in a Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Raleigh ended up missing just one game with the heel issue in an absence that had been labeled as precautionary. The slugging backstop retains an impressive .348 average with three home runs and 10 RBI across 10 Cactus League games despite Sunday's blanking.

  • Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Ready to play Sunday

    Raleigh (heel) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Diamondbacks.

    Raleigh was scratched from the lineup ahead of Saturday's game against the White Sox due to a bruised heel, but the extra day off was apparently all the backstop needed to recover from the injury. The 27-year-old carries a .400/.520/1.000 spring slash line over nine Cactus League games into Sunday's contest.

  • Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Scratched with bruised heel

    Raleigh will not play in Saturday's Cactus League game against the White Sox due to a bruised heel sustained in Thursday's contest against the Brewers, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Michael Papierski will get the start at catcher with Raleigh held out. The move is a precautionary one, with Divish noting that Raleigh would've played if it was a regular-season game. Raleigh is slashing .400/.520/1.000 with three home runs and 10 RBI over 20 at-bats in spring training.

  • Mariners' Trent Thornton: Solid through five appearances

    Thornton has pitched 4.2 innings across five Cactus League appearances, allowing four runs (two earned) on three hits and four walks while recording two strikeouts.

    The right-hander's numbers are a bit deceiving, as all of his trouble has come in just two of those outings. Thornton has otherwise posted a trio of one-inning scoreless appearances after impressing last season following his arrival in a trade with the Blue Jays. The 30-year-old has 36 career starts at the big-league level, and Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports that manager Scott Servais plans to deploy Thornton in a multi-inning role out of the bullpen when necessary.

  • Mariners' Gabe Speier: Uneven through four spring turns

    Speier has allowed five earned runs on seven hits and two walks across 3.2 innings over four Cactus League appearances. He's also recorded one strikeout.

    The left-hander has alternated poor and effective outings, with all five of the runs he's allowed coming in his first and third Cactus League appearances. Speier posted a pair of scoreless one-inning efforts in his other two trips to the mound as he tries to build on a solid 2023 debut campaign in Seattle. Speier pitched to a 2-2 record with a 3.79 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, one save and 17 holds across a career-high 69 appearances last season, and Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports the 28-year-old may potentially operate in some higher-leverage spots in addition to his customary sixth- and seventh-inning "pivot" role in 2024.

  • Mariners' Tayler Saucedo: Enjoying excellent spring

    Saucedo has not allowed a run through five innings across five Cactus League appearances while surrendering four hits, hitting a batter and posting a 6:0 K:BB.

    Saucedo has pitched to some harmless contact but otherwise excelled, firing an inning apiece in his five turns out of the bullpen. The left-hander was a valuable part of the relief corps in his 2023 debut campaign in Seattle, pitching to a 3-2 record, 3.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across 52 appearances while also recording a save and three holds. Saucedo is projected to operate in a similar capacity in the coming season, with Daniel Kramer of MLB.com noting the 30-year-old southpaw could also see action in some higher-leverage spots in addition to his customary sixth- and seventh-inning "pivot" role.

  • Mariners' Luis Urias: Continues strong spring Thursday

    Urias went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Thursday.

    Urias's sixth-inning solo shot off potential Milwaukee closer Joel Payamps pushed Seattle's lead to 4-1 and served as his second homer of spring. The offseason addition has overcome some early adversity stemming from a shoulder injury, playing third base with regularity and putting together a .333 batting average with a double, a triple, the pair of round trippers and four RBI across nine exhibitions.

  • Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Belts third spring homer

    Raleigh went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Thursday.

    Raleigh was one of three Mariners to leave the yard Thursday, and his third-inning homer was his third of what has been a stellar spring at the plate thus far. Raleigh is now hitting .400 and has knocked in 10 runs for the Mariners in 25 plate appearances, encouragingly striking out just five times over that span after posting a 27.8 percent strikeout rate in 2023.

  • Mariners' Mitch Haniger: Pops third spring homer

    Haniger went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Thursday.

    Haniger's solo homer in the first inning was his third of spring and pushed his Cactus League average and OPS to .450 and 1.450, respectively, across 22 plate appearances. The veteran outfielder, who's enjoying a clean bill of health after an injury-hampered 2023 season with the Giants, has also professed several times this spring that he feels extremely comfortable being back in Seattle after a year away.

  • Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Some struggles in last two outings

    Gilbert has allowed a combined 10 runs on nine hits, three walks and a hit batsman over the 4.1 innings covering his last two Cactus League starts.

    The talented right-hander was hit hard by both the Rangers and Padres in those outings, giving up a pair of home runs to the latter. However, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports manager Scott Servais wasn't discouraged by Gilbert's overall performance versus San Diego, with the Seattle skipper noting "Logan's stuff today was the best it has been all spring" and specifically complimenting the life on his fastball and the late movement on his secondary pitches. Gilbert maintains he feels "pretty comfortable" after three Cactus League outings, and he lines up for what will likely be two more opportunities to work out any kinks before the start of the season.

  • Mariners' Bryan Woo: Twirls four perfect frames Thursday

    Woo fired four perfect innings during which he recorded five strikeouts in a Cactus League win over the Brewers on Thursday.

    Woo has bounced back from a forgettable Cactus League debut against the Rockies on March 1 to throw 6.2 hitless innings over his next two appearances. Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports the right-hander needed just 38 pitches to record his 12 outs Thursday, necessitating another dozen pitches in a bullpen session after his appearance in order to continue building up for the start of the season. The Mariners will monitor Woo's workload throughout the campaign as they prepare to push him well past the 131.2 innings he threw in 2023 as a rookie.

  • Mariners' Mauricio Llovera: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Llovera cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

    After acquiring Llovera from the Red Sox in January via waiver claim, he'll remain in the Mariners organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Llovera turned in a 4.89 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 35 innings between the Giants and Red Sox last season, and he could potentially return to the majors in 2024 if Seattle runs into depth issues over the course of the season.
