Fantasy Impact: Polanco is back after sitting out Friday night for general rest, batting sixth and starting at second base against the Athletics for manager Scott Servais Saturday.

Bryan Woo delivered a commanding performance on Friday, allowing no earned runs on just one hit and one walk while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in the Mariners' 8-1 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: This first outing of the season, marked by efficiency and control, underscores Woo's potential value in fantasy leagues, especially considering his pristine 0.00 ERA and 0.46 WHIP through his initial start of the season. His low BABIP of 0.091 suggests some luck, but his solid 2.56 FIP indicates that his performance has substance. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Woo's role in the Mariners' rotation, as his ability to maintain command and minimize damage could make him a valuable pickup, particularly in deeper leagues or as a streaming option.

Dylan Moore went 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in the Mariners' 8-1 victory over the Athletics.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marked a significant contribution from Moore, who drove in over half of Seattle's runs. Despite a somewhat modest .226 batting average for the season, this game could be a sign of turning things around. His power display, with three home runs now on the season, along with a decent .331 wOBA, suggests potential for more impactful games. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Moore, especially in deeper leagues or as a potential streaming option when matchups are favorable. His ability to contribute across multiple categories could be valuable, though consistency remains a concern.

Ty France went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI as the Mariners trounced the Athletics 8-1.

Fantasy Impact: This performance could be a positive sign for fantasy managers who have been patiently waiting for France to heat up after a lukewarm start to the season. With a batting average of .248 and only modest power numbers so far, his contribution in this game might hint at a potential uptick in production. However, his high strikeout rate and low walk rate continue to be areas of concern. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on whether France can maintain a more consistent hitting streak to become a more reliable option in fantasy lineups.

Fantasy Impact: Santos is moving his rehab to Seattle as he continues to ramp up his throwing program. Fantasy managers should expect the team to update his status once he is able to throw off a mound.

Fantasy Impact: The 26-year-old is currently on the injured list with an AC join sprain. Canzone is slated to play in four games with Tacoma before the team re-evaluates him.

Leo Rivas is in the Mariners lineup on Thursday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: This is just the second start for Rivas since he was called up from Triple-A two weeks ago. He will make the best of his opportunity before he is likely optioned when J.P. Crawford returns.

Luis Urias is in the Mariners lineup on Thursday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Urias did not start on Wednesday, but he did receive two at-bats after pinch-hitting. Seattle gets both him and Josh Rojas in the lineup with Rojas starting in left field.

George Kirby had a rough outing in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings. This performance slightly tarnishes his otherwise stellar season stats, including a 3.74 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP. Kirby's ability to maintain a high strikeout-to-walk ratio and a solid FIP suggests this game might be more of a bump in the road rather than a trend. Fantasy managers should keep faith in him, considering his ability to dominate in prior outings, but this game serves as a reminder of the volatility present even in reliable starters.

Mitch Garver went 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Mariners' 6-3 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: His performance included a walk and he scored once. Despite the Mariners' defeat, Garver's outing was a bright spot in what has been a challenging season for him, marked by a low .181 batting average. His home run in this game brings his total to four for the season, showing some signs of power, but his overall production has been underwhelming. Fantasy managers should view this performance as a positive sign, but it's clear that Garver needs to provide more consistent hitting to become a reliable fantasy option. His ability to draw walks is commendable, yet his high strikeout rate and low BABIP suggest that improvements are needed for sustained fantasy relevance.

Fantasy Impact: This was a move made to open a roster spot for Seattle. Brash remains shut down from throwing for the time being.

Fantasy Impact: Snead threw one scoreless inning in the Mariners loss on Wednesday against the Twins. He should continue to hold a role in the middle innings of the bullpen for Seattle.

The Mariners activated Eduard Bazardo from the 15-day injured list. (Source: Mariners PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bazardo had been dealing with a ight rotator cuff strain that he suffered during spring training. He should a role in the middle innings of the Mariners bullpen.

The Mariners optioned Emerson Hancock to Triple-A Tacoma. (Source: Mariners PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: With Bryan Woo opening the season on the injured list, Hancock has made seven starts this year where he has posted a 5.24 ERA. He could remain in the minors for now with Woo nearing his return.

The Mariners placed RHP Tayler Saucedo on the 15-day injured list. (Source: Mariners PR on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Saucedo suffered the injury after slipping trying to cover first base in Tuesday's game. It appears he may have avoided anything too serious, but he will miss some time.

Cal Raleigh went 1-for-1 with a home run, two runs scored, and four RBI in the Mariners' 10-6 victory over the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Despite a season average of .213, Raleigh's power numbers have remained solid with nine homers. His high strikeout rate (.331) is an issue, but a low BABIP (.237) suggests some bad luck as well. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Raleigh for signs of consistency, as he could provide valuable power numbers from the catcher position if he finds more regular contact.

Fantasy Impact: The 29-year-old would likely head out on a rehab assignment, barring any setbacks from this week’s work. Fantasy managers should expect a firm timeline to be provided once he is assigned to an affiliate.

Luke Raley is not in the Mariners lineup on Tuesday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Raley is out of the lineup with Josh Rojas moving to left field and Luis Urias starting at third base for Seattle.

Seby Zavala is in the Mariners lineup on Tuesday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Zavala gets the start with Cal Raleigh out of the lineup. He is hitting .208 with one RBI this season.

Luis Castillo endured a tough outing, surrendering three earned runs on three hits and two walks while striking out seven over 6.2 innings in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the loss, Castillo's performance was not entirely disheartening as he managed to maintain a decent strikeout rate, which continues to be a silver lining in his season. His ERA slightly rose to 3.54 and his WHIP to 1.14, but these numbers still reflect a pitcher who can dominate on the mound. Fantasy managers should note that Castillo's high K/9 and solid FIP suggest that he remains a strong asset, especially in leagues that value strikeouts and advanced pitching metrics. However, his win-loss record now stands at 3-6, highlighting the potential volatility in relying on him for consistent win contributions.
