Mariners' Gabe Speier: Continues excellent August
Rotowire
Speier threw a clean eighth inning Saturday against the Guardians. He struck out one.
Speier's scoreless streak is now up to 5.1 innings, and he's given up just one run over 11 frames in the month of August. The 30-year-old left-hander has been an outstanding setup man in the Seattle bullpen for most of the year -- Speier owns a 2.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 34:6 K:BB across his last 28.2 frames (37 outings).
Mariners' Gabe Speier: Extends scoreless streak Saturday
Rotowire
Speier threw a clean eighth inning with no strikeouts in Saturday's 6-4 extra-innings loss to Texas.
Speier ran his streak of scoreless outings up to eight, and he's yielded just one earned run overall in his last 15 appearances. The 30-year-old left-hander remains a crucial part of Seattle's high-leverage picture, working to a pristine 0.69 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB over his last 13 innings.
Speier was charged with a blown save in Sunday's 8-4 win over Detroit, allowing one run on one hit in the seventh inning.
Speier was taken deep by All-Star Riley Greene, and saddled with his fourth blown save of the year. Speier had gone four consecutive outings without surrendering an earned run prior to Sunday's hiccup, and he should remain an integral part of Seattle's bullpen as its lone active left-hander. Through his first 36.2 frames, Speier owns a strong 2.70 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 51:9 K:BB with 10 holds.

Rotowire

The 30-year-old southpaw has endured a rough June so far, working to a 6.00 ERA through six innings this month, but he'll nonetheless remain an important weapon out of Seattle's bullpen as its lone left-hander. Speier owns a strong 2.86 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 40:7 K:BB across 28.1 innings in 2025.

Mariners' Gabe Speier: Live BP upcoming
Rotowire
Speier (shoulder) is slated to throw a live batting practice either Tuesday or Wednesday, after which a decision will be made on when he'll begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
Speier has been in a throwing progression since late June, but the imminent live batting practice session will mark his first time facing hitters since May 29. The southpaw will presumably need to make at least a couple of appearances with a minor-league affiliate due the length of his absence, making a pre-All-Star-break return increasingly unlikely.
