Mariners' Andres Munoz: Collects sixth save
Munoz earned a save against the Royals on Monday, striking out three batters in 1.1 perfect innings.
Munoz was summoned from the bullpen in the top of the eighth inning with two outs, Seattle up by two runs and the tying run at the plate. He struck out Nelson Velazquez to end the threat, then got some stress reduction when the Mariners' offense put up two runs in the bottom of the frame. From there, Munoz closed things out without incident, fanning two of the three batters he squared off against in the ninth frame. The save was his sixth of the season and first since April 30, though no other Seattle pitcher recorded a save in the meantime. Munoz has looked great since his lone blown save of the campaign April 21, tossing 9.1 scoreless frames during which he's posted a 10:1 K:BB across eight appearances.

Mariners' George Kirby: Cruises with seven scoreless frames
Kirby (4-3) earned the win over Kansas City on Monday, allowing three hits and no walks while striking out six batters over seven scoreless innings.
Kirby was shaky to begin his outing, allowing a single to the second hitter he faced and then loading the bases on consecutive hit-by-pitches. He worked his way out of that threat, though, and yielded just two harmless singles the rest of the way to finish with his fourth scoreless start of the campaign. The right-hander had an 8.16 ERA through three starts this season but has lowered that to 3.58 by giving up two or fewer runs in five of his subsequent six appearances. He's registered four quality starts over that stretch.

Mariners' Dominic Canzone: Could return this weekend
Canzone (shoulder), who took a full game's worth of plate appearances as the designated hitter for Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday, could be activated ahead of the start of the Mariners' next road trip Friday, MLB.com reports.
Canzone went 2-for-5 with an RBI double Sunday for the Rainiers after also lacing a two-bagger in his rehab debut Saturday. Canzone's timing at the plate already seems to be in good shape, and if he continues without any physical setbacks, it appears he could be ready to jump back into action with the Mariners beginning Friday against the Orioles.

Mariners' Jake Slaughter: Dealt to Seattle
Slaughter was traded from the Cubs to the Mariners in exchange for Tyson Miller on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Slaughter has shown both speed and pop during his time in the minors, and it's been more of the season so far this year. He's slugged five homers and swiped 10 bags in 32 games at Triple-A Iowa. Slaughter figures to report to Triple-A Tacoma following Monday's deal.

Mariners' Jorge Polanco: Leaves with hamstring issue
Polanco was removed from Monday's game against the Royals due to right hamstring tightness.
The severity of Polanco's injury is unclear, though he's likely headed for further testing. Josh Rojas and Luis Urias could see more opportunities at second base if Polanco is forced to miss additional time.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Set for rehab assignment
Crawford (oblique) was active for the Mariners' batting practice Monday and will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.
Crawford has been on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain since April 25, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to the big-league roster. He'll likely need to participate in multiple contests during his rehab assignment in Triple-A before being activated and could join the team in Baltimore ahead of its three-game series with the Orioles beginning Friday.

Mariners' Jimmy Joyce: Makes 2024 Double-A debut
Double-A Arkansas reinstated Joyce (elbow) from its 7-day injured list Saturday.
After making a two-inning rehab appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League last Monday, Joyce was cleared to make his 2024 Double-A debut over the weekend after missing the first month of the season with a right elbow injury. He started in Sunday's 11-1 loss to Wichita and allowed four earned runs on three hits and two walks over 1.2 innings.

Mariners' Jonatan Clase: Inconsistent since minors return
Clase owns a .156 average and .311 slugging percentage across the 58 plate appearances he's logged for Triple-A Tacoma since his April 29 demotion.
Clase had posted a .333/.333/.500 slash line over the first 12 games of the Rainiers' season before getting the call up to the big-league club, where he got off to a similarly strong start before tailing off. The subsequent return to Tacoma started off particularly ragged, as Clase went 3-for-33 over his first nine games, albeit with nine walks and five steals, before showing some signs of life in the last three games with two home runs, four walks and another pair of stolen bases. Clase is an elite speed threat who's proven capable of generating above-average walk rates throughout his time in the minors, and although his strikeout rates also tend to get elevated, he could certainly be a consideration for a return to the majors this summer.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Quiet since season debut
Haggerty went 1-for-3 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Athletics on Sunday, his first hit since making his season debut May 1.
Haggerty had gone hitless in his first eight plate appearances of the season after a delayed debut due to a non-baseball-related medical issue. The veteran utility man has now broken through with his first knock of the season and also has a walk and stolen base on his resume, but he'll likely continue seeing only sporadic playing time while good health prevails across the Mariners' roster.

Mariners' Bryan Woo: On track to start Wednesday
The Mariners list Woo (forearm) as their probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Royals in Seattle.
Woo missed the first six weeks of the regular season with right elbow inflammation before returning from the 15-day injured list Friday after a trio of successful rehab starts. The right-hander was cruising through his first start of the season with the Mariners in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics, but he was lifted after 4.1 scoreless innings and 62 pitches upon experiencing forearm tightness. Though the fact that Woo is dealing with an injury that's seemingly related to the one that kept him on the shelf earlier this season isn't ideal, manager Scott Servais downplayed concern about the forearm issue after the game. The Mariners are still seemingly anticipating that Woo will be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation Wednesday, though fantasy managers will still want to keep tabs on his status leading up to the day of the game just to ensure the team hasn't scratched him from the start.

Mariners' Dylan Moore: Swipes bag in Sunday's win
Moore went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a steal in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Moore led things off with a base hit and stole second before eventually coming around to score on a Mitch Garver single to give the Mariners a quick lead. He later drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. It was just his third stolen base since April 24, though he's on pace for double-digit steals again after only managing seven in 67 games last season. Moore continues to see regular at-bats with J.P. Crawford (oblique) still working his way back and even works out of the leadoff spot against lefties like he did Sunday. For the year, the 31-year-old is slashing .222/.321/.411 with three homers, 13 RBI, 12 runs and an 11:28 BB:K in 106 plate appearances.

Mariners' Luis Castillo: Down's A's for fourth win
Castillo (4-5) picked up the win over the Athletics on Sunday, allowing two runs on seven hits and no walks while striking out eight over six innings.
Both runs allowed by Castillo came via the long ball, with Max Schuemann and Abraham Toro taking him deep in consecutive innings. Aside from that, Castillo limited the damage to just base hits and tossed his sixth straight quality start, which now puts him in a tie for fifth-most in baseball. Castillo now owns a 3.31 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 64:11 K:BB in 54.1 innings and lines up to face the Orioles on the road next weekend.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Homers and doubles in win
Rodriguez went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer, a double, a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Athletics.
Rodriguez connected for his second home run of the season on a two-run blast off Alex Wood in the second. He later doubled off the top of the wall to begin the fifth and merely just missed another home run. Rodriguez was the only Mariner with multiple extra-base hits in the game and has been seeing the ball much better lately, with the last six batted balls for him all traveling at least 100 mph. The 23-year-old has endured some struggles at the plate this season but is now slashing .255/.310/.323 with 13 RBI, 16 runs, nine steals and an 11:50 BB:K in 174 plate appearances.

Mariners' Mitch Garver: Homers, plates three RBI in win
Garver went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 8-4 win over the Athletics.
Garver extended the Mariners' lead with a two-run blast in the fifth and also got things rolling for the M's with an RBI single in the opening frame. The two hits ended a mini three-game slump for the 33-year-old, though he's still been hitting well in May, slashing .300/.405/.567 with two homers, six RBI and five runs over his last eight games.

Mariners' Seby Zavala: Homers in Sunday's win
Zavala went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Athletics.
Zavala took Kyle Muller deep in the sixth inning for his first home run of the year. It was just his second RBI and third extra-base hit on the season, as he only has 31 plate appearances while operating as the team's backup catcher to Cal Raleigh.
