Randy Arozarena is in the starting lineup for the Mariners Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Arozarena will start in left field and bat fourth against the A's. He is hitting .218, with 20 home runs, 60 RBI, and 20 stolen bases this season.


Justin Turner is in the starting lineup for the Mariners Sunday.

Fantasy Impact: Turner will serve as the DH and bat sixth against the A's. He is hitting .258, with 11 home runs, and 53 RBI this season.


Emerson Hancock allowed three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out three over 5 1/3 innings in Saturday's win against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a shaky performance that saw him struggle with control and fail to dominate in strikeouts, Hancock was spared a loss thanks to his team's late offensive surge to secure a 7-6 victory. This outing underscores a season marred by inconsistency, evidenced by a ballooning 4.75 ERA and a modest 5.8 K/9 rate. His WHIP of 1.34 and FIP of 5.78 suggest that improvements are necessary if he aims to be a reliable option in fantasy rotations. Moving forward, fantasy managers should view Hancock as a risky play.

Julio Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored in the Mariners' 7-6 win over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: While he didn't contribute any RBIs or extra-base hits, his ability to get on base and score was crucial in the tight contest. Rodriguez's performance this season has been solid, maintaining a .273 batting average with 20 homers and 24 steals, marking him as a consistent multi-category contributor in fantasy leagues. His strikeout rate remains a concern, but his speed and power combo should keep him relevant in all formats. As the season winds down, Rodriguez's blend of power and speed continues to make him a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking for an edge in the outfield.

Luke Raley went 2-for-3 with a home run and a double, driving in three runs and scoring twice in the Mariners' 7-6 win over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: Raley's performance today was a bright spot in what has been a fairly average season, marked by a .244 batting average and 22 home runs over 136 games. His ability to contribute key hits and RBIs today, however, underscores his potential value in deeper fantasy leagues, particularly in formats that reward power and on-base percentage. While his high strikeout rate remains a concern, performances like today's show that Raley can be a useful fantasy asset when he's connecting with the ball.

Cal Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a home run and an RBI in the Mariners' 7-6 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed crucially to the narrow win, though his overall batting average remains at .218 for the season. Raleigh's power numbers, with 33 homers and 98 RBI, continue to make him a valuable fantasy asset, particularly in formats that reward power production from the catcher position. However, his high strikeout rate and low batting average could be a concern for fantasy managers looking for consistency and contact. His ability to provide occasional bursts of scoring keeps him relevant, but expectations should be tempered given his batting trends.

Bryan Woo delivered a masterful performance on Friday, allowing no earned runs on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings in a 2-0 win against the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: This outing continues a stellar season for Woo, who now boasts a 2.89 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP across 22 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (7.77) and a low BABIP (.241) suggests that his success is not just a fluke but a result of effective pitching. Fantasy managers should consider Woo a reliable option in their rotations, especially given his consistent ability to limit runs and rack up strikeouts. His performance today only solidifies his status as a top-tier fantasy starter.

Mitch Garver played a key role in the Mariners' 2-0 win over the Athletics, delivering with his bat by going 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot contributed significantly to the team's victory, marking one of the few highlights in his otherwise challenging season. With a batting average lingering around .172 and a high strikeout rate, Garver's power stroke has been one of the few redeeming aspects of his fantasy value this year. His 15 homers are respectable, but fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his overall production has been limited by a low BABIP of .216 and a concerning strikeout total. Moving forward, Garver remains a risky play, suitable mainly for those in need of power numbers from the catcher position.

Fantasy Impact: Gilbert, who was arguably the most consistent starter this season for Seattle and made the All-Star team will start on Sunday instead of Bryce Miller with Emerson Hancock drawing the start on Saturday.


George Kirby delivered a strong performance in Wednesday's 8-1 victory over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed just one earned run on four hits and one walk while striking out six over six innings. This outing underscores Kirby's reliability as a starter this season, marked by a solid 3.53 ERA and a commendable 1.07 WHIP across 33 starts. His ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio (7.78) and a consistent K/9 rate (8.4) makes him a valuable asset in fantasy lineups. Given his performance trends and underlying metrics like a 3.35 FIP and a .290 BABIP, Kirby should continue to be a dependable option for fantasy managers seeking stability in their pitching rotations.

Dylan Moore is in the starting lineup for the Mariners Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Moore will start at third base and bat ninth against the Astros. He is hitting .207, with 10 home runs, 42 RBI, and 31 stolen bases this season.


Josh Rojas is out of the starting lineup for the Mariners Tuesday.

Fantasy Impact: Rojas will head to the bench with a left-hander on the mound for Houston. Dylan Moore will start at third base and bat ninth.


Bryce Miller delivered a masterclass performance, allowing no earned runs on just two hits and two walks while striking out five over seven innings in Monday's 6-1 victory over the Astros.

Fantasy Impact: This outing was a clear demonstration of Miller's prowess on the mound, enhancing his already impressive season stats. With a 2.94 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP across 31 starts, Miller continues to solidify his role as a top-tier starter in fantasy leagues. His consistent strikeout ability, marked by an 8.5 K/9 rate, combined with a strong 3.80 strikeout-to-walk ratio, makes him a reliable asset for strikeouts and quality starts. Fantasy managers should value his ability to maintain low scoring games, especially considering his low BABIP of 0.237, indicating some good fortune but also skill in limiting solid contact. As the season winds down, Miller's performances are crucial for those in playoff contention, making him a must-start in all formats.

Andres Munoz delivered a flawless performance, striking out three in a clean inning to secure the save in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Yankees.

Fantasy Impact: Munoz's ability to overpower batters was on full display, enhancing his already impressive season totals. With a 2.03 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, he continues to be a reliable asset in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories of saves and strikeouts. His high strikeout rate (11.7 K/9) and low BABIP (.193) suggest some luck, but his skill in high-pressure situations cannot be ignored. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy Munoz with confidence, as he remains a key component of the Mariners' bullpen.
