Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer in Sunday's 8-3 win at Toronto.
Raleigh stretched Seattle's lead to 3-0 with a majestic 398-foot long ball off Easton Lucas in the first inning. The Mariners' catcher is now tied for the MLB lead in home runs at nine with the Athletics' Tyler Soderstrom. Overall, Raleigh is slashing .233/.333/.593 with 14 runs scored, 15 RBI and three steals across 99 plate appearances.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Slugs fifth homer
Rotowire
Moore went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 victory of the Blue Jays.
The Seattle utility man drew the start at shortstop and occupied the leadoff spot. Moore popped a 364-foot solo shot off Easton Lucas on the third pitch of the game to give the Mariners the lead. Moore is enjoying a scorching start this season, slashing .316/.371/.596 with five homers, 12 runs scored and seven RBI while going 5-for-9 on steal attempts.

Mariners' Luis Castillo: Allows 10 hits in win
Rotowire
Castillo (2-2) picked up the win Sunday at Toronto, yielding three runs on 10 hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
Castillo walked away with his 75th career win despite giving up double-digit hits -- including four doubles -- for the first time since April 2, 2024. The veteran right-hander labored through 102 pitches and handed the game off to his bullpen, which allowed just one additional hit. Castillo has not been sharp to open the season, pitching to a 4.44 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 23:12 K:BB across 26.1 innings. He currently lines up for a home start against the Marlins next weekend.
The Mariners designated Lawrence for assignment Sunday, Tim Booth of the Seattle Times reports.
Lawrence was designated for assignment Monday but cleared waivers and rejoined the organization Wednesday before being recalled to the big club Friday. He pitched in back-to-back contests Friday and Saturday, allowing an unearned run over two hitless innings. His removal from the roster again Sunday corresponds with fellow hurler Sauryn Lao getting his first major-league call-up.

Mariners' Sauryn Lao: Gets first call to big leagues
Rotowire
The Mariners called up Lao from Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
Lao has started all three games in which he has pitched in the minors this season, but he's tossed only three frames in each of those appearances and is likely to work in the bullpen while up with Seattle. The right-hander has been effective with Tacoma, posting a 2.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 7:1 K:BB over nine innings. To make room for Lao on the 40-man roster, the Mariners are designating Casey Lawrence for assignment, per Tim Booth of the Seattle Times.
Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Production picking up recently
Rotowire
Crawford went 1-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Saturday's extra-inning win over Toronto.
Crawford has started each of Seattle's first 21 games of the season, and his offensive production has picked up recently. The veteran shortstop is hitting .310 (9-for-29) with two doubles, four RBI and six runs scored over his last nine outings, and he ranks among MLB's leaders in walks (15) on the campaign. The Mariners have a void at the top of their lineup while Victor Robles (shoulder) is sidelined, and Crawford's on-base skills could allow him to see some at-bats in the leadoff spot at some point this year.

Mariners' Ben Williamson: Swats first career homer
Rotowire
Williamson went 2-for-6 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays.
Getting the start at third base and batting eighth, Williamson forced extras by leading off the seventh inning with a no-doubt homer to left field off Jose Berrios, tying the game at 3-3 and giving the 24-year-old his first career long ball. Williamson has started four of five games at the hot corner since receiving his first big-league promotion, batting .250 (5-for-20) with two RBI and four runs scored.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Fans nine in no-decision
Rotowire
Gilbert didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-4 extra-innings win over the Blue Jays, giving up two runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out nine.
While the right-hander continues to pile up strikeouts, his dominance is coming at the cost of some efficiency. Gilbert has failed to last six innings in four straight starts, getting an early hook in this one after 102 pitches (68 strikes), including 19 swinging strikes. Gilbert will take a 2.63 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and 41:6 K:BB through 27.1 innings -- but only one win and one quality start in five outings -- into his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Marlins.
Rodriguez isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto.
Rodriguez will get a chance to regroup during his first day off Saturday after starting the season with a .179/.304/.359 slash line through 92 plate appearances. Luke Raley will shift to right field to cover for the 24-year-old, opening right field for Miles Mastrobuoni to start and bat leadoff.
Mariners' Rowdy Tellez: Drills second homer amid slow start
Rotowire
Tellez homered in his lone at-bat in Friday's loss to Toronto, adding a walk.
Tellez drilled a solo homer into right field in the second inning, putting the Mariners on the board and tying the game at 1-1. A strong showing during spring training allowed Tellez to make Seattle's Opening Day roster, but the veteran slugger is off to an icy start at the plate while functioning on the strong side of a platoon at first base with Donovan Solano. Tellez is slashing .135/.195/.324 with two long balls, one double and five RBI through 41 plate appearances (14 games), so he can be left on waiver wires in the majority of fantasy leagues.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: Another quality start Friday
Rotowire
Woo (2-1) took the loss Friday against the Blue Jays after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks in seven innings. He struck out four.
Friday marked the third quality start already this year for Woo, who was charged with his first loss despite throwing at least six innings in his fourth straight outing to open the campaign. Woo gave up just one extra-base hit, and two of his three runs allowed came on sacrifice flies. The hard-throwing right-hander should remain an upper-echelon fantasy starter as long as he stays healthy, and Woo sports a 3.12 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 22:6 K:BB over 26 innings this season ahead of a tough spot in next week's scheduled start in Boston.
Moore is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Toronto.
Moore is coming off a monster series against the Reds, having gone 7-for-12 with two home runs and two stolen bases. Despite that, he will begin the series opener versus the Blue Jays on the bench. Miles Mastrobuoni will start at second base and hit seventh for the Mariners.

Mariners' Troy Taylor: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Mariners optioned Taylor to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
Taylor started the season on the 15-day injured list due to a right lat strain he suffered in spring training. He was activated from the IL on Monday, but in his 2025 debut against the Reds on Wednesday he allowed three runs on three hits while failing to record an out. Taylor could get a call back up to the majors when the Mariners need right-handed depth out of the bullpen. Seattle selected the contract of Casey Lawrence from Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Mariners' Casey Lawrence: Rejoins big club
Rotowire
The Mariners selected Lawrence's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.
The right-hander was designated for assignment and outrighted to Tacoma earlier this week, but he'll quickly rejoin Seattle's major-league roster. Lawrence allowed two earned runs over three innings during his lone big-league appearance this year and has a 4.35 ERA in two starts at Triple-A.

Mariners' Zach Pop: Agrees to MiLB deal with Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners signed Pop (elbow) to a minor-league contract Wednesday.
Pop was cut loose by the Blue Jays earlier this month after he developed right elbow inflammation during spring training. It's not clear what his current health situation is, but once he's ready to pitch, Pop will provide the Mariners with some veteran relief depth in the minors.
