  • Heads to bench Thursday
    Bouchard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Bouchard will give way to Hunter Goodman after starting each of the past four games in right field while going 3-for-13 with two doubles, a walk and a stolen base. While Kris Bryant (back) remains on the injured list, Bouchard should still maintain an edge over Goodman and Jake Cave for a regular lineup spot in the corner outfield.

  • Draws second straight start
    Cave will start in left field and bat seventh in Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Cave will get a second consecutive start in the corner outfield while Nolan Jones (back) remains sidelined. The 31-year-old went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss and is slashing just .217/.269/.348 through 26 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Resting in day game
    Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: He'll take a seat while the Padres and Rockies wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. With Blackmon on the bench along with Nolan Jones (back), Jake Cave and Hunter Goodman will occupy the corner-outfield spots, and catcher Elias Diaz will get a day off behind the plate and will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter.

  • Not starting Thursday
    Machado (personal) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Since Machado has already spent the maximum three days on the paternity list, he needs to be activated Thursday, but the Padres have yet to officially announce the move. Even if the Padres add Machado back to the 26-man roster Thursday, he'll still be available only as a bench player before likely making his return to the lineup against the Phillies this weekend, when the team returns to San Diego. Jurickson Profar will serve as the Friars' designated hitter Thursday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Next rehab outing set for Tuesday
    Scherzer (back) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Frisco, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Scherzer will look to push up his pitch count in his second rehab outing after he struck out four over 2.1 innings (52 pitches) while allowing three earned runs on five hits and no walks in his 2024 debut Wednesday with Triple-A Round Rock. Since Scherzer missed all of spring training while completing his recovery from Dec. 15 surgery to address a herniated disc in his back, he could require an additional rehab start after Tuesday to get fully stretched out. The right-hander looks on track to return from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut for the Rangers in early May. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Back on bench Thursday
    Raley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Raley had started each of the past three games, going 3-for-12 during that stretch to lift his season-long batting average to a porous .186. Though the Mariners have an opening in the outfield with Dominic Canzone (shoulder) on the injured list, Raley may play second fiddle to Jonatan Clase while he continues to languish at the plate.

  • Likely to fill in for Crawford
    Moore will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: He'll man shortstop for the second game in a row and is expected to serve as the main option at the position after J.P. Crawford (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. Moore has a pair of 20-steal seasons on his resume and already has five stolen bases in just 53 plate appearances so far in 2024, so his speed could make him an appealing short-term option in deeper mixed leagues now that he's on track to get consistent playing time.

  • Mariners place J.P. Crawford (oblique) on 10-day IL
    Mariners placed INF J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with a right oblique strain.

    Advice: Crawford was pulled from the starting lineup on Wednesday after he experienced discomfort in warmups and now will be sidelined for at least the next week or so. The 29-year-old was starting to get in a rhythm at the plate going 7-for-21 (.333 AVG) with four RBI in his past five games. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Mariners transferred Santos (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

    Advice: The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Leonardo Rivas, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma. Santos is in the midst of a throwing program as he works his way back from a right lat strain, but the Mariners are proceeding conservatively with him. He won't be eligible to make his season debut until late May. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
