Moore went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers.
Seattle managed only one run in the contest, but that wasn't due to a lack of production on Moore's part. The utility man collected two of the team's eight hits and put himself in scoring position twice with a pair of steals. Moore is up to five thefts on the campaign, but he's still slashing a meager .214/.358/.357.

Mariners' Bryce Miller: Lasts just four innings in loss
Rotowire
Miller (3-2) took the loss against Texas on Wednesday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five batters over four-plus innings.
Miller made it through three scoreless frames before the Rangers got to him for a pair of solo homers in the fourth. The right-hander did come back out to the mound for the fifth frame, but he was pulled after issuing a leadoff walk, having thrown 83 pitches to that point. Miller's three-game quality start streak was thus snapped, as was his three-game win streak. He'll try to get back on track the next time he takes the mound, which lines up to be this weekend in Houston.
Crawford was scratched from the Mariners' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers due to right oblique soreness.
The severity of Crawford's injury remains unknown, but it's apparently enough to keep him from starting in Wednesday's contest. Dylan Moore will enter the lineup as Seattle's new shortstop and bat eighth.

Mariners' Jonatan Clase: On bench again
Rotowire
Clase is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.
Clase will take a seat for a third straight game while the Mariners roll with Luke Raley and Mitch Haniger as their starters in the corner-outfield spots. Since being called up from Triple-A Tacoma on April 15, Clase has appeared in six games and has gone 5-for-20 with three RBI, one run and two stolen bases. The speedy 21-year-old initially looked on track to handle a regular role in the outfield following Dominic Canzone's (shoulder) placement on the injured list, but Clase may instead be part of a timeshare with Raley in left field.

Mariners' Cal Raleigh: Out with dental issue
Rotowire
Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers after undergoing an emergency procedure to remove one of his teeth, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
Raleigh reportedly played with a broken tooth during Tuesday's win and had it removed early Wednesday. Seby Zavala will start behind the plate for Seattle and bat ninth while Raleigh is sidelined.
Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Rangers.
Raleigh tagged Dane Dunning for a two-run shot in the first inning to plate J.P. Crawford, marking the fourth long ball of his last five appearances. During that stretch, Raleigh is batting .474 with nine RBI, five runs scored and three multi-hit games.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Puts tally in home-run column
Rotowire
Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.

Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Goes 6.2 scoreless
Rotowire
Gilbert improved to 2-0 on the season in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over the Rangers, striking out six over 6.2 scoreless innings while allowing two hits and issuing four walks.
Gilbert surpassed six innings pitched for the fourth time in five starts this season, notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. He battled issues with command and walked a pair of batters in the first, but he otherwise kept himself out of danger. He was removed from the contest with runners on first and third, but he was saved by Ryne Stanek, who forced Leody Taveras into an inning-ending groundout. Gilbert has posted four quality starts this season and boasts the most innings pitched (33.2) of anybody with fewer than six starts. He's scheduled for a Sunday start against Arizona.
The Mariners activated Snider (knee) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday and optioned him to Triple-A Tacoma.
Snider is over his left knee contusion but will remain with Tacoma, where he had been on a rehab assignment, rather than rejoining the big club. He should get another shot in the Mariners' bullpen down the line.
The Mariners optioned de Geus to Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.
Cody Bolton was technically the Mariners' 27th man during Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies, but it will be de Geus who gets sent down to bring Seattle's active roster back down to 26 men. He allowed just one run over 3.1 innings covering four relief appearances during his time in the majors.

Mariners' Matt Brash: Rehab assignment imminent
Rotowire
Brash (elbow) will pitch once more at the Mariners' complex in Peoria in coming days before a rehab assignment start date is determined, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
The right-hander's extensive build-up following spring elbow trouble appears to be drawing to a close, and Brash seems to have navigated the process without setbacks thus far. Assuming all goes well with his final throwing session, Brash could be toeing the rubber for one of the Mariners' minor-league affiliates shortly thereafter in what would be his first game action of any kind in 2024.

Mariners' Luke Raley: Reaches Mendoza line Sunday
Rotowire
Raley went 2-for-4 with a run during a win over the Rockies in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday.
Raley put together his second multi-hit effort of the season in the high-scoring victory, with both having come within his last three starts. The offseason addition raised his average to .200 with Sunday's productive day, but he's still in search of his first home run of the campaign after slugging a career-high 19 for the Rays in 2023.

Mariners' Julio Rodriguez: Remains hot during doubleheader
Rotowire
Rodriguez went a combined 4-for-9 with an RBI single over the two games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies.
Although there were no extra-base hits involved, Rodriguez continued to be an on-base machine Sunday, one day after rapping out four singles and recording two steals in a shutout victory over Colorado. The talented outfielder has now hit safely in six straight games and has five consecutive multi-hit efforts, raising his average 90 points to .276 in the process. Rodriguez has definitely had some luck shine on him during that stretch, however, as he sports an astronomical .650 BABIP after coming into the sample with a .289 figure dating back to the beginning of the season.

Mariners' Seby Zavala: Produces in rare start
Rotowire
Zavala went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and two runs during a win over the Rockies in the second game of a doubleheader Sunday.
Zavala got in on the Mariners' much-needed offensive breakout in a major way, as he paced the team with his three-hit day. The reserve backstop had only 12 plate appearances on the season coming into Sunday, last having played April 13. Cal Raleigh, who belted his team-leading fifth home run in Sunday's second game, has understandably been laying claim to the bulk of playing time behind the dish, although both he and Zavala were in the lineup for the closing installment of the twin bill since Raleigh filled the designated-hitter role.

Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Productive during twin bill
Rotowire
Crawford went a combined 2-for-8 with a triple, four RBI, two walks and two runs during both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rockies.
The four trips on the basepaths made for a busy afternoon for the veteran shortstop, and the productive day, which was highlighted by a bases-clearing triple in Game 2, was preceded by back-to-back two-hit efforts in Crawford's previous two contests Tuesday and Saturday. Crawford is still slashing just .193/.287/.289 on the season, but he's now reached safely in 11 consecutive games, a span during which he boasts a .353 on-base percentage.
