Mariners' JT Chargois: Charged with blown save Sunday
Rotowire
Chargois was charged with his second blown save of the season in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday, allowing an earned run on a solo home run and a walk over one inning. He struck out one.
Chargois' outing had a little bit of everything, with the veteran right-hander allowing a game-tying, one-out solo shot to the second batter he faced in the seventh inning, Leody Taveras. Chargois would get out of the frame without any further damage, but he set the early stage for a critical loss for the Mariners. The 33-year-old came into the outing on a nine-appearance run of strong performances, as he'd allowed just one earned run on two hits and three walks over his previous 7.2 innings.

Mariners' JT Chargois: Picks up third win
Rotowire
Chargois (3-1) got the win against the Rangers on Friday, striking out the side in a perfect eighth inning.
Chargois retired Jonah Heim, Leody Taveras and Carson Kelly on 14 pitches with the Mariners down two runs in the eighth, and he then reaped the rewards for his dominance when Julio Rodriguez slugged a go-ahead three-run home run in the home half of the frame. Chargois now has three consecutive scoreless relief appearances of at least an inning each, and Friday's outing lowered his ERA back under 3.00 (2.87) for the first time since Aug. 24.

Mariners' JT Chargois: Takes loss Tuesday
Rotowire
Chargois (2-1) took the loss and was charged with a blown save against the Rays on Tuesday, allowing two earned runs on two hits over one inning. He struck out one.
Chargois was tasked with preserving a thin 1-0 lead when he entered in the seventh, but he subsequently allowed a two-run home run to Jose Siri after retiring the first two batters he faced during the frame. The right-hander has now surrendered a pair of earned runs in two of his last four appearances, rare hiccups in what has otherwise been a strong season for the veteran reliever. Even when factoring in recent struggles, Chargois is sitting on a combined 2.39 ERA and 1.10 WHIP across 24 appearances with the Marlins and Mariners in 2024.

Mariners' JT Chargois: Gets second win Thursday
Rotowire
Chargois (2-0) got the win over the Tigers on Thursday, firing a perfect ninth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.
The recent trade acquisition extended a stellar start to his Mariners tenure with his fourth straight perfect appearance since arriving from the Marlins. Chargois has enjoyed an excellent season overall, as he's carrying a 1.29 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 19 appearances. While he has little track record as a late-inning arm, his performance thus far with the Mariners suggests he could earn some high-leverage work.

Mariners' JT Chargois: Sent to Seattle
Rotowire
The Mariners acquired Chargois from the Marlins on Tuesday in exchange for right-hander Will Schomberg, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Chargois missed the first two-plus months of the season due to a neck issue, but he's pitched well in middle relief since being activated in mid-June with a 1.62 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The right-hander will bolster Seattle's bullpen depth and is also under team control for 2025.

Marlins' JT Chargois: Nabs first win of season
Rotowire
Chargois (1-0) picked up the win Sunday over the White Sox, giving up a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
The right-hander was called in with the Marlins down 4-3 in the top of the ninth, and Chargois got rewarded for his efforts when Jake Burger walked it off with a three-run homer in the bottom of the frame. Chargois has been very effective since making his season debut in mid-June, posting a 1.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB through 10.2 innings, and he could be working his way into the high-leverage mix for the Marlins.

Marlins' JT Chargois: Returns from 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Marlins activated Chargois (neck) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Chargois has been out all season with a neck issue and was pulled off his rehab assignment at one point because of a setback. He's ready to go now, though, after making eight scoreless appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville following the resumption of his rehab assignment. Chargois should eventually be used as a high-leverage reliever by Miami but could be eased into such situations.

Chargois made three rehab appearances for Jacksonville last month before suffering a setback with his neck injury.

Marlins' JT Chargois: Shifts to 60-day IL
Rotowire
The Marlins transferred Chargois (neck) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Chargois began the season on the 15-day IL due to neck spasms that kept him out of action during spring training. He made three rehab appearances with Triple-A Jacksonville, but he suffered a setback and hasn't pitched in the minors since April 26. It's unclear when the Marlins anticipate Chargois will be ready to make his 2024 MLB debut, but as a result of his move to the 60-day IL, he won't be eligible for activation until late May.

Rotowire
Chargois will serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.
Chargois threw a scoreless inning the last time he was called on to serve as Miami's opener Aug. 27 against Washington. He'll likely remain Wednesday's game for no more than an inning or two before turning the contest over to the bullpen. The Marlins could turn to Bryan Hoeing to work in bulk relief behind Chargois or go with Edward Cabrera, who is with the Marlins' taxi squad and could be formally called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on Wednesday.

Rotowire
The Marlins reinstated Chargois (ribs) from the 15-day injured list Friday, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.
Chargois landed on the IL on Aug. 5 due to a strained right rib cage. He holds a 3.60 ERA and 1.20 WHIP since the beginning of July and will likely continue to serve in middle relief. George Soriano was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move.

Marlins' JT Chargois: Collects first save
Rotowire
Chargois allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Angels.
Regular closer Dylan Floro had pitched three straight days and was likely unavailable Sunday, while Tanner Scott recorded four outs for a hold against the middle of the Angels' order. Chargois looked far from dominant, but a double play helped him out, and he got Mike Trout to pop up with two runners in scoring position to end the game. Chargois had allowed three runs over his previous 2.2 innings. He's at a 2.79 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB through 9.2 innings over 11 appearances, and he's added two holds in addition to his first save of the year. Chargois is unlikely to be in the long-term picture for saves.

Marlins' JT Chargois: Not yet throwing
Rotowire
The Marlins announced Monday that Chargois (oblique) has resumed upper-body plyometric activity, but he remains on a no-throw program, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.
Chargois has been on the shelf since April 10 with a right oblique strain. Though he hasn't been shut down from activity entirely, the fact that he's not yet throwing presumably takes an April return from the 15-day injured list off the table.
