Emerson Hancock will start the season as Seattle’s No. 5 starter, per team updates, clinching it with 1 run and 4 strikeouts over Wednesday’s outing versus the Rangers. (Adam Jude)
Fantasy Impact:
Hancock’s 1-run, 4:1 K:BB Wednesday against the Rangers locks him as the Mariners’ fifth starter with George Kirby out until mid-April, despite a 14.7% K rate in 60.2 innings in 2024. His camp impresses. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should roster him, banking on early starts for Seattle, though his limited strikeouts cap upside in 2025.
