Seattle Mariners

Taylor Trammell went 2-for-4 with one RBI and one run on Friday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Trammell recorded his first two hits of the season, one being a home run. It was the fourth Mariners long ball of the night on Justin Verlander.

Kyle Lewis went 1-for-4 with two RBIs and one run on Friday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Lewis capped off a four-run first inning with a two-run home run, his first long ball of the season. He showcased power upside as a rookie and will look to carry that type of play into this season. He continues to serve as the Mariners designated hitter.

J.P. Crawford went 2-for-2 with one run and two walks on Friday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Crawford reached base in all four of his at-bats, collecting a single and a double. It is his third straight game with two hits and fourth time doing so in his last six games.

Julio Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with two RBIs, one run and one strikeout on Friday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Rodriguez opened up the scoring with a two-run home run off Justin Verlander the first pitch he saw. He has now hit a home run in three of his last four games and continues to rake in the middle of the Mariners lineup.

Ty France went 3-for-4 with one RBI and two runs on Friday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: France opened the bottom of the third inning with a home run on Justin Verlander. He also collected a pair of singles. France has now collected a hit in nine straight games, hitting .341 on the season.

Chris Flexen earned the win on Friday against the Astros, allowing one run on seven hits across seven innings to go along with six strikeouts and two walks.

Fantasy Impact: Flexen bounced back nicely after getting roughed up by the Red Sox last time out. It was the first time all season he pitched well and the Mariners provided him run support in the same start. He has eight starts with at least 7.0 innings pitched and no more than one run allowed since the start of 2021, most in the American League per the Mariners PR.

Fantasy Impact: This comes after a couple successful bullpen sessions thrown by Giles. He will likely make a couple of minor league appearances before joining a struggling Mariners bullpen.

Jesse Winker is not in the Mariners lineup on Friday against the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: Winker was hitting leadoff and playing in left field in the original lineup. Instead, Adam Frazier will leadoff and play in left with Sam Haggerty starting at second base. The reasoning for Winker being scratched is not known at the time.

Fantasy Impact: Steckenrider was one of the better relievers in the Mariners bullpen last season where he posted a 2.00 ERA with 14 saves across 67.2 innings. It has been a completely different story this year, registering a 5.65 ERA and allowing a run in three straight appearances.

Luis Torrens went 1-for-3 with one RBI on Wednesday against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: Torrens picked up the only RBI for the Mariners on the afternoon as the other run scored on a wild pitch. It won't get any easier for Seattle this weekend with Houston coming to town.

Robbie Ray took the loss on Wednesday against the Athletics, allowing three runs on seven hits over six innings to go along with 10 strikeouts and one walk.

Fantasy Impact: Seth Brown and Elvis Andrus both got to Ray with home runs, but he still registered the quality start. It has been an up-and-down season overall for the reigning AL Cy Young award winner, but his dominant strikeout has form has returned with at least eight strikeouts in four straight starts and in five of his last six starts.

George Kirby took the no-decision on Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing four runs on eight hits over five innings to go along with nine strikeouts.

Fantasy Impact: Kirby allowed a run in the first and third innings followed by a two-run long ball hit by Jed Lowrie in Kirby's final frame of the night. He now has 20 strikeouts to two walks through four starts to open his MLB career, which is as advertised with what he was showing in the minor leagues.

Cal Raleigh went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, one run and two strikeouts on Monday against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: Raleigh broke a 3-3 tie with a two-run long ball in the fourth inning. The definition of home run or bust, Raleigh has six hits on the season and four of them are home runs.

Eugenio Suarez went 1-for-3 with two RBIs, one run, one walk and two strikeouts on Monday against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: Suarez extended the Mariners lead to 7-3 with a two-run home run in the fifth inning. He has now gone deep nine times this year and collected a hit in eight straight games.

Paul Sewald earned the save on Monday against the Athletics, working around a two out hit with one strikeout.

Fantasy Impact: Sewald struck out Sheldon Neuse and got Chad Pinder to ground out for two quick outs before Jed Lowrie singled to put some pressure on him. He later got Sean Murphy to ground out softly to secure the win for the Mariners and earn his second save on the season.

Diego Castillo earned the hold Monday against the Athletics, tossing a 1-2-3 eighth inning.

Fantasy Impact: Castillo struck out the side as he got Elvis Andrus and Tony Kemp swinging before pinch-hitter Luis Barrera struck out looking. Castillo had entered Monday with an even 9.00 ERA. We'll see if this appearance can give him some momentum to turn his season around as he continues to pitch in late-inning situations out of the Mariners bullpen.

Marco Gonzales earned the win on Monday against the Athletics, allowing five runs on eight hits over 5.1 innings to go along with three strikeouts.

Fantasy Impact: After back-to-back dominant performances against the Mets and Blue Jays, Gonzales came back down to earth against Oakland. Fortunately for him, the Mariners provided enough run support and the bullpen held the A's down enough to where he still earned the victory. His ERA sits at a respectable 3.74 on the season.

Adam Frazier went 3-for-5 with three RBIs, one run and one strikeout on Sunday against the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact: Frazier put the Mariners on the board with a two-run long ball in the sixth inning. He later gave Seattle a 4-3 lead in the 10th inning with an RBI single. After a relatively slow start to the season, Frazier is looking more like the hitter he's been most of his career as of late.

Andres Munoz took the blown save and loss on Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing five runs including a grand slam.

Fantasy Impact: Munoz entered the bottom of the 10th inning with the Mariners leading 4-3. He allowed an RBI single to Enrique Hernández that tied the game and later had a chance to escape the inning otherwise unscathed until Franchy Cordero launched a grand slam on an 0-2 count with two outs.

Logan Gilbert took the no-decision on Sunday against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits over seven innings to go along with four strikeouts and two walks.

Fantasy Impact: Gilbert allowed home runs to Christian Arroyo and Trevor Story. He tied a season-high with seven innings as his ERA currently sits at 2.60 on the year.
